- (continued from previous page)a cord to the bottom of the bucket and had it long enough to reach his own bed. The cooper went to bed and when he knew the tramp was in bed he started to pull the cord.

- There is supposed to be a crock of gold hidden in Heathstown fort. A small black pony used to mind it. When darkness came the pony would appear. When anyone would be travelling on the boreen the black pony would gallop by them three or four times until the person was a good distance by the fort. My Grandmother saw him one night when she was going up to Harris's. After some time the parish priest was told about it and he was banished.
