“There is a field in which there is a lough and which is supposed to be full of gold.”
There is a field in which there is a lough and which is supposed to be full of gold. The lake is beside Wardtown castle and if any person wants to get the gold he has to watch at the lake from one year’s end to another. If he watches long enough to see a bull come from the lake and go to a nearby lake he can then get the gold. But if the bull does not come out to drink no gold can be got.
