3. Just under a white thorn bush at St Tomeses well Graigwine? there was an old man named M. Foley and another man dug for a crock of gold, and found a flag. He was half in dread, to go any farther because he saw a black cat every time he went near it. He turned for home and no one ever tried for gold there again.
Patrick Stone Cloncunny - I know a spot about half a mile from here in Thomas Bowes field where there is said to be gold hidden under four pine trees. It is in a little grove between two ditches. One night a few men went to try to get it, and as they began to dig for it a bull chased them. No one ever since tried to get it, and it is not known who hid it there.
