It is said that a pot of gold was hidden there and a black cat minding it. Long ago the people used try to enter it with a lighted candle but they could only go a certain distance when the candle would quench. They got afraid so the fort had to be closed because the sheep around it were getting lost. The gold is still there who ever is lucky enough to find it.
