“There is a style in Faree and it was said that ten yards from this style there was a crock of gold under a flat stone.”
There is a style in Faree and it was said that ten yards from this style there was a crock of gold under a flat stone. One night some men went to dig. They dug for some time and in the middle of the hole the pick hit a pot and a cock crew and one of the men said "be gob we're eaten" and they ran home and when they went for their spades in the morning the hole was covered and the spades were gone.
