    Share Share Post
    Once there was a pot of Gold found in Carrthamoneen fort.
    An English man dreamt one night that there was a pot of gold hidden in Carrthamoneen fort and he was told that the Leprachaun would tell him what fort it was in.
    So he went to the place and he slept at the corner of the wood in a small house. He went out at twelve p.m he saw the Leprachaun he cought hold of him and asked him where the pot of gold was.
