- In a rock below Pat Corless'es house in Mountscribe called Breggnagun owned by Michael Carty there is a pot of gold hidden in it.
It is not known who put it there.
One day a girl was herding sheep in the field. She saw the pot of gold in a corner of the field. She said she would not mind it until she would have the sheep changed. When she came up she looked for the pot of gold but she could not find it. She went home and told her father and her father and the neighbours came to the place where she saw it. They looked for the pot of gold but they could not find it.
There was a light often seen in an old knocked down house near where it was seen.
It is not known what the gold was worth.
There is nothing minding it.
There was two little girls seen coming out of it one time.
