   He was not buried in the same grave but in a mound beside it. This mound can be seen today. On some night of the year lights are seen in the fort. People say it is Will of the Wisp.

   In the town land of Matogul there is a fort called Rath-glas. Money was frequently found in the fort. An old man boasted of his luck to a few of his neighbours, but another old man told him that he had made a fatal mistake in telling that secret because no one would ever again find money there.. Even though people have looked for the money none has ever been found since.
