    There is said to be gold buried in the corner of a field in the townland of Corlican

    There is said to be gold buried in the corner of a field in the townland of Corlican in the parish of Glynn. It is said that there is a man minding it and that he will come out on the road every hundred years and, and if there happens to be a person passing at that time he will ask them to follow him. They say if the person doesn't follow him he will never have another days luck, but if he follows him he will give him all the gold.
    They say that the hundred years is nearly up now and that he will soon be seen on the road again
