    Patrick Feeney and Owen McTernan removed a large flag in the middle of a fort in Patrick Feeney's land. When they removed it they found a pot and hooks. In digging further the came to a second flag, and when they tried to remove it a rooster crew under the flag and another answered him on a hill over them. Old people in the townland told them to leave back the articles and put the flag in the same position again.
