- John Lynch Grandfather of the present owner dreamt that there was gold hidden in his land, in Clonbochague, Mt Nugent, Co. Cavan.
The next day, he and his son Patrick went to dig for the gold. Patrick brought holy water with him, they dug where John had dreamt the gold was.
When they came to a flag, they sprinkled the holy water on it. They lifted up the flag, under which was a crock full of sycamore leaves.- Collector
