    Outside the walls is a tunnel which runs under the stronghold & down to a river about 200 yrds away.
    There are supposed to be fairies in the hill; because once when a man started to dig for sand in the hill he heard a voice from inside saying "Dont be digging there!"
    The same thing happened to another man as well.
    There is a great rock lying on top of the hill. How it got there is a mystery
