  1. A woman in Kiwalla dreamt three times that there was a pot of gold in a garden a few yards from the North side of the Hangman's bridge. There was an old boreen leading from the main road where the bush was. It was a white thorn bush. The woman came to see was her dream true. The pot of gold is there under the bush still and no less than three men can dig for it. Some one of the three lives must be lost.
