    Skillet of Gold
    There is a Skillet of gold hidden in Kit breagen's field. There is a charm with which this treasure is to be got. First the person must dream of the treasure and the charm. He must go alone at mid-night to the place. He must try and kill the fairy which is guarding the gold. If he hits the fairy on the forehead he will kill him. Once a man dreamt of the treasure and the charm. He went to the hill and dug for the treasure. He got in part of the way but he got afraid and came back. A life has to be lost before this treasure can be got.
