    “In the townland of Correvan a large pot of gold is hidden.”

    In the townland of Correvan a large pot of gold is hidden. Under the tbale in the house of Owen Maeguire it lies. It is a large pot of gold and no one knows what value it is supposed to be. It is covered with a large heavy flag also. No lights are seen neat that place or no one knows who put it there. Owen never dug for it because he thought he would toss the house.
