- (continued from previous page)a crock of money near the chapel of Killskyre. He was to bring two men with him and dig it up during Mass time. They went and came upon a flag of brass. The man lifted it up and peeped in and saw a crock of gold coins. Just as he did so they heard the cars coming from mass. "Let us hide" says he, "until they pass and don't make everyone as wise as ourselves". They did but when they came and lifted the brass lid again, it was not gold that was in the crock but stones and rubbish.
This story was told to Mat Murray by his Father.
