“I heard another story of another black dog...”
I heard another story of another black dog which was told by Mrs Kenny, Ballykerogue. This black dog used to be seen every night on the new road on the way to the Island.
It is said that this dog was left to mind some money which was buried under a big stone on the right side of the ditch near the priest's house.
