  1. There once lived a man in the locality named Hughie Kenny. One day he was hunting in a field beside the fort situated on the lands of P. Murtagh, Creevy. He heard some noise in the fort. He went inside to have a look around. He saw a little man sitting on a big stone. When he went to catch him he disappeared. He enquired from some neighbours about a big stone in the fort and he learned that there was a hidden treasure lodged there. With the help of his two sons he dug underneath this big stone & they found some money, but, they never told anyone what was the amount. However, they lived happy ever after.
