  1. Once upon a time there lived a boy near the fort of Dunganvil. One day he was pulling roots and he found a chalice.That chalice is called the Ardagh chalice.
    That chalice is now seen in the National Museum in Dublin.
    No one ever made any attempt to dig there again because there is a big black hound gaurding it.
