    A pot of gold in Liscarney hill.
    There is a pot of gold in Liscarney hill and nobody can touch it because there is a worm going round and roung on the top of it. The Danes out it there and they forgot to take it out. No attempt was made to take it out of that. Some time soon some one might attack it. Whosoever will will have a hard task because the worm will fight a battle to hold the gold. Whoever will take it will be rich forever because the pot will never empty.
