- Moat of DiamorOnce a man dreamt there was a crock or gold in the moat of Diamor. He got up early without telling anyone and went to dig. He was not digging long until he came to an apartment. The crock of gold was on the middle of the floor guarded by a big black cat as big as a dog. He made an attempt to get the gold but the cat cae growling. The man fled in terror and never entered it again.Collected by Nora Smyth, Donnegorm, Crosskiel Kells Meath.
