   was there buried in a lantern and a bastable, and it was only one foot under-ground a white thorn bush. It was three feet (deep) south of where they dug so deep. When the quarry-man came back he saw the white-thorn bush. This must be it said he. They dug deep with spades and crow-bars. They found there was not as much surface, as would bury a crow. They went back to Fermoy cool and recollected. It is said some-one discovered it.

They found some of it, and it was to be in a bastible. After another while an other party came to the rock, and dug the same place, but they had to go away without it. They came again and started to dig, but they had to go away again without it. After several turns they gave it up.
