    Hidden Treasure
    About forty or fifty years ago Willie Hehirs brother of Maghera dreamt of a hidden crock of gold .He dreamt it was under a white-thorn bush near Hehir's fort.
    Next day he dug for the gold. When he had dug very far into the ground a strange thing happened.He got very hungry and had to return home for something to eat.
    He did delay long until he came back to finish his search.
    To his surprise he found the flag removed and a wood-cock dead by the side of it .He could plainly see the print of the crock.
