   dreamed that there were three stones in the hollow the treasure was under the third stone, and that there is a life to be lost on the lifting of the third stone.
   Men sent to search for the three stones. They found them. They began to dig up the two stones, but were afraid to lift the third stone.
   Treasure at Ballanacargy.
   The small river that flows by Ballanacargy, flows to a drain, and at the edge of the river, where it flows into the drain there is a rock.
