  1. My uncle told me that he knew of a place near Borris where there was supposed to be a pot of gold hid.
    And he knew of a name of Doyle that went with another couple of men to look for it.
    When they would be digging a horce would galloping up to the place where they were digging and they would have to go away and nobody was ever able to get it.
