- I live in the district of Ardbraccan near Navan Co Meath. There is supposed to be treasure hidden in James Buchanans field.
It was hidden by Peter Gorman. He lived in Ardbraccan. He brought it from foreign lands. He was getting old and he had enough money without it. That is why he buried it. Attempts have beem made to get it. His wife tried to get it but she did not succeed. The treasure consists of golden vessels.
Buried gold has never been got in my district. People say if you caught a fairy and kept your eye on him and asked him where the gold is he would tell you. If he refused to tell you threaten to put him on the pan and he will give in.
