There once lived in the village of Gowran a family name the O'Haras. There was a very small man amongst them called Lord O'Hara. He was only three feet high he heard that there was a crock of gold in the back (wall) walk of the old Abbey. One night at twelve o'clock he went up to the old Abbey he dug deep till he got the gold. People say that when he got the gold one of the family died.- Collector
