It is said that pots of gold and treasures were hidden there by the old people long ago, and that had no one belonging to them to give it to. Many people had dreams about that and kept it a secret and sent there with spades but they never got the sheet. People say too that there is a big, wicked bull minding the pots of gold for the people that are dead and who left the gold there. They say that at night the bull can be seen going round the place where the gold is supposed to be.- Collector
