    Folklore.
    There is a field in Thomas "Macallens land"which is known as The Well Field" because there is a well in the field and under it there is supposed to be a lepracán.
    ANY one who would pass that spot at one o'clock would see him.One night a man was passing by and he saw him.he asked him for the crock of gold and he told him it was at his heels.When he looked around him he could see no gold but when he turned back the little fellow was gone and could be sen no more.
