  1. There is a fort in Harty's field in about that fort Lisduff, between Ballyheigue, and Causeway. A few years ago, John, and Sonny Lynch, whose father lives in Ballynoe, had a strange dream about that fort. They had a dream that there was gold to be found near their home. They told it to their father. He told them to go to [?] it. They went, and opened five or six caverns. They were searching for a long time, and only found a little piece of gold.
    Many people came to see the fort, and went down into the caverns.
