- (continued from previous page)there is a large stone that would take several men to turn. Under the stone there is said to be a large pot of gold and guarded by an enchanted worm.
About seventy years ago a band of men tried to turn the stone and when they had it nearly turned the ground started to shake so much that they got weak and they had to let the stone fall back into its place again so it is there since.- Collector
