  2. My brother Sinon Collins, Shragh, told me that he heard that there is gold hidden at the back of John O'Dea's house, in a field near the river. There is a turkey cock minding this gold and when anybody goes near it, the turkey cock cuts two drains along the field with his wings. He "starts " from the river.
