- There was once a man named Henry Doyle who lived, not far from here, in Co Wexford. This man dreamt three nights in succession about a crock of gold, that was buried in a certain field. The fourth night he asked a neighbour to go with him and dig it. They went and when they had dug, located a pot and being dissappointed at seeing only a pot, which when opened contained only bones, he gave it a kick, cursing it at the same time. Immediately he felt a terrible pain, in the leg he kicked the pot with. His companion had to assist him home to his bed, which he never left for three years. After this space of time he died.
