- There is a rock in one field near our house. It is resting on two middle sized rocks. There are flags standing up and the people say they are headstones. They also say pagans are buried there. We do not believe it now. There is a sort of "forth" in it also and some people are afraid to pass it at night for fear a fairy or ghost would catch them. They say ghosts dwelt under the big rock. The people said that but, none believe it now because they were never seen at night or by day. The name we have on that place is "Ockera". We have no the meaning of that name. There are bushes growing in it now. We grow crops in the other part of the field.
