    Where gold is supposed to be hidden.
    At Michael Kelly's field at Bleach Bridge ,there is a crock of gold .it is said that Martie Fahy's grandmother used dream of it and two men from Gortaveha went to dig for it but,as they were digging ,the clay used be thrown back again .it is also said that when snow falls none rests on that spot .
    There is a crock of gold hid by the Danes in Lough Graney outside Dillions wood, and it is said that Michael Moloney dreamt of it ,or as is known to his friends as "Micho Jack " .
