Tim Mulready. - In Miss Brennan's land in Walshestown there is a ditch and in a certain part of this ditch there is gold hidden. A strange animal is watching this gold. This animal is like a cat. If anyone tries to get the gold this strange animal will run after him and kill him.
If the person brings an old cat with him and if he kills it when the strange animal chases him he will get off.- Collector
