- (continued from previous page)There is a pot of gold buried at the foot of a field in Trummon. A large stone is placed on the top of the hole. Several attempts were made to remove the stone from the hole.
Once it was removed and it was rolled to one side. Three men dug for two hours and at last they came to a large flag. After some time they removed the flag and found a smaller flag on which was printed. “Are you ready to meet the the lady who guards this gold and answer her questions?”
None of the men cared to fulfil this task so they filled in the hole again.
Never since did anybody anybody try to get the gold, it lies there to this day.- Collector
