- Every farmer in the district has names on his fields. There is a hill in my district it is called the hill of Cairn. There is a cairn on the top of it. It is said that some great warrior was buried there and that he had lot of money hid there. It is said that there is a pot of gold under a big bush and a black cat watching it and if any one went to take it she would attack them. There is caves under the cairn. There was a train seen going across the hill and when it came to the cairn it vanished.
