    A Strange Find
    My Daddy told me a story about a tub of butter which was found in the townland of Rednagh outside the village of Aughrim.
    Once when the forestry men were planting young trees they came across a tub of yellow stuff.
    Afterwards they were told that it was a tub of butter which had been buried there long ago. They covered it up again. More forestry men were working there afterwards and I do not know whether they found it or not.
