    Long ago a man named Wat Evoy dreamt three nights after one another, that there was a crock of gold buried in a field of my fathers called the gorteen.

    (continued from previous page)
    uncle peter dressed themselves up in a white sheets and chains and went to the rath outside of where the others were digging.
    After a while they began to rattle the chains, and the other two fled for their lives. They never went to dog for it anymore.
