There is supposed to a hidden treasure in a field in Deerpark. The owner of the field is Paul Stack. The field is on the side of the road. The treasure is supposed to consist of gold which is supposed to be worth one thousand pounds. There were several attempts made to unearth it but they did not succeed because there was a watchdog minding it. This dog is said to be of great size, about ten times the size of an ordinary dog.
