Once upon a time, a few men went to dig for gold at the back of Mr. Gahan's. Mr. Gahan lives at Tobergal, Ferns, Co Wexford. They had seen lights around this place and they thought there might be some gold there. They got their tools and went up in the middle of the night and they started to dig. When they were some distance down the lamps went out and they saw nothing only stars all around them. They did not get any gold.
Some people say that the hole is there still and the lights are to be seen up around there yet.Martin Breen,
