    (continued from previous page)
    About eighty years ago, a man lived between Dromulton and Castleisland, and it is said that he had a lot of money.
    He was afraid of robbers. So he left his home, and went through Kilsarcon, when he came in view of Glounlea fort, which is in John Sullivan's land. He burried it opposite the white horse which was feeding in the fort field.
    The white horse was feeding at the northern side of the fort. He said he burried it in the Kilsarcon cnoc na h-abhanns. Too of the cnocs are in my father's land.
