  2. Long ago when the Redcoats were in Ireland there lived a boy at Kilpatrick a few miles from Kenmare. He used to carry a big bag of gold on his back from place to place. One day the Red-coats saw him and they followed him from Dromdown as far a[s] Cleady bridge. They captured him but could not find the gold, and it is supposed that it is hidden between the boundary of Gortalassa and Kilpatrick.
