  1. People dreamt there was money hidden in a fort near Shanagolden Co. Limerick, they went to dig for it in the fort. They dug a big hole in the ground and they got nothing. They came the next day and they dug deeper. At last they came to a large box and they opened it and they found small fairy pipes. They said to themselves there must be something here, so they dug on and they came to a pot. That minute the fox-hunt came on the field. They ran out to look at it and when they came back the hole was closed up again.
