    dreamt three times running that there was a pot of gold under it. He went to dig one Summer morning about two o'clock. After digging a while he came to a big stone. Then he heard noises and thought he saw the field full of red pigs. They followed him home and later he went to Australia and died there after a few years. The hole is there yet under the fairy tree and nobody ever touched it since.
