A crock of gold .21. 11 .37.
Long ago there was a crock of gold hidden in a place now known as Walsh's lios by the Danes. Stephen Woods father went there once to dig it and the very minute he put the spade under the rock he lost his eye. My father did not know who us minding it but it is supposed to be fairies. No one ever went near it since.The stone still stands there with a tree growing at the back>My father told me this.
