- Some time ago a man dreamt that gold was hidden in the townland of Cnox in Patrick Donavan's land. Then this man with some friends made an attempt to dig for the treasure. When they had dug only a few sods they saw a weasel where they were digging, so they gave up the task, because they thought the weasel was a fairy.
- I know where there is a hidden treasure. It is buried under an elder tree in a fence beside Derry Castle It is unknown who placed it there, but I suppose some early inhabitant of the Castle placed it there in time of trouble. It consists of a crock of gold, and no attempt was ever made to unearth it.
