  1. In the far-off days old people had their treasures in order that no other people could get at them. Gold is supposed to be hid under a big stone on the side of the moneymore road. Three pots of gold is said to be buried under that stone. A serpent is said to be guarding it. People have made lots of attempts to remove the stone but they could not move it. The field belongs to McVitty’s.
