    my father's land there is place known as the rushy field. (known) My father said that long ago there were two giants carrying a big rock on a wooden bar down the side of the hill. It was supposed they were bringing it to cover an oven of gold which was at the foot of the hill. When they were half-way down the bar broke, and the rock fell to the ground. It is said the giants brought up the oven of gold, and put the rock over it.
