    field in Shanaclune. This field belongs to people named Ryan (Vora). There were men digging for it and fairies appeared to them. One man lost his life and a few days after the fairies took the pot of godl and placed it in another field.
    Some days later there was a man ploughing in the field. He dug up the pot of gold. He told the horses to stand. When he looked at the pot again he found that it had turned to cinders while he was getting the horses to stop.
