- In the parish of Ballinakil west of the village of Bardbánn a 'Túin in the mountain there is a bush called "Sgeac a Dreacáin" There was a man living in Reenabrone named Owen Begley. He dreamt that if he went to the bush at twelve o'clock in the night and to bring an iron bar with him that he would get a crock of gold under the bush. He was told in the dream to bring a lanthern and to tell nobody about it. He was afraid to go through the mountain so late in the night He brought another man with him.
