  1. Composition - Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    Composition.
    Hidden Treasure.
    Some years ago men were digging for a port of gold in Mr. Austins field. They never gold the treasure.
    The name of the field in Barney's Ricket. The gold was put there by the fairies in very olden times.
    The field in which the gold is in is a very backward place.
    Mr. Myles Colagon told me that if anybody got that gold he or she would be very rich.
    Maire Collins, 12th November 1937.
    I got this from Myles Colcagan, The Hatchet, Kilcloon, Co. Meath.
