- Patrick Gaffney says there is a porringer of gold coins hidden in James McCabe's garden at the back of the house in Carrigan Ballinagh. James Mc Cabe made several attempts to get it. He knocked on of the trees in the garden but failed to get it. The teller says it was hidden by the moon light and that the man who hid it hid it in a straight line between James Mc Cabe's door and the moon. The teller does not know why the porringer of gold were put there or when it was put there or the man who put it there.
