- Hidden Treasure: Fourth Story
One time a man and a woman dreamt about a pot of gold. They were to meet at the bridge between Leitrim and Roscommon. Then they came into County Leitrim and came to Sliabh an Iarainn where the pot of gold was to be found. Then the two arrived, says the man to the woman " here you are!" He says "and here you are!" The woman dug a trianangular sod where the gold was and she says " dig away for the pot of gold." As soon as they started to dig it began to rain and they had to leave it there.
This story was collected by Anthony Cornyn from his father Peter Cornyn, farmer, Tullynaha, Ballinaglera, Co. Leitrim. He is 69 years of age.
