- (continued from previous page)There is a pass leading through those rocks into Granard which leads on to the Clough Road and when the man was going through these rocks he saw a white sheet spread out on the pass before him and it covered with gold.
There was a turkey-cock turning the gold with his wings. The man looked round to see if there was anyone coming and when he looked again all had vanished.
When the man came home he told his people about what he had saw and the old people said that if he had thrown a penny into the heap of gold or spit on it that all the gold would be his.- Collector
