  1. There is supposed to be a donkey skin full of gold in a long narrow field in Ardlaghan. This field belongs to Neddy McGinty. If a cow lies on the spot where the gold is she will be all white. This is the only way it will be known. There was one cow which lay on it but no one knew where she did lie.
