    History Edit

  2. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    About fifty years ago a crowd of men went looking for a pot of gold which was supposed to be hidden under a rock in a field. When they had lifted the rock they were hunted out of the place by rats. In a few years time another crowd lifted the rock, and they were hunted by rats. The people thought that it must be the fairies that put it there. The place they were is near Headford.
