- (continued from previous page)to unearth it by a man whose name I do not know. He did not succeed in getting it because a greyhound attacked him.
This man was a cripple for the rest of his life. - The treasure is supposed to be hidden in a cave in the townland of Bective. It is a golden coffin and there is a monk buried in it and no one knows who laid it there. It is not known if anyone tried to unearth it. There are gates at the cave and they are locked and no one can enter.
