- In Endrim there is a jug of gold under a crab tree. Two men were coming home late one night, saw a small man sitting beside the jug under the tree. Tom Cusack dug three times but failed to find it and if a human being touched it, he would be changed into a fairy.
In a field of Keenaghan's there is an old fairy fort, where there is a crock of gold. A black cat is guarding it. It is to be shot with a sixpence, and if the shot is missed the searcher's life is to be lost.
