  1. There is a fort on my father's land in Knockatudor. There are three forts beside it. Michal Shields has a fort and so have John Edy Divine, and Mr Spears. My uncle and Mr Brown dreamed about getting money in this place. He and my uncle dug for it and they came upon this large stone in which the money was hidden. When they lifted up the stone they saw a small man and he cried for help. My uncle and Mr Brown fled home without getting any money.
