  2. There is a treasure hidden under a flag in the Moate of Diamor and a pigeon is guarding it. It was hidden by the Danes. Two men had a dream one night about the treasure. One of the men was a man named John Fox. They started off to the moate the next night with two spades and they came to the Flag. They were afraid to dig it up because there would have to be a life lost. So they went home without it.
