- There is a graveyard in the village of Aughamore (Ballyhausis, Co Mayo in which there is the ruins of an old church and there is supposed to be a horn of gold found there. A man named Patrick Quinn, from Glan, (Kilkelly Co Mayo) dreamt of it three times and he would get it by going there to a funeral. So he went there and he saw the horn of gold but he was ashamed to take it in the presence of the people so he thought he would wait until they would be all gone. When they were gone, he went for the gold but it had disappeared. A man from Co Sligo dreamt of it three times and he also had to go there to funeral. He went and he got the horn of gold. The place where the horn of gold was can be still seen.(continues on next page)
