    It is said there is gold hid underneath the ground near the graveyard in Athea. There is a flag over the gold. One night men dreamt about it and how the flag was covering it and they thought they got the gold. The next day they went to Athea and when they were digging underneath the stone a bull came out of the churchyard and left none of them go near it.
    It is said that no one can go near it and that the bull is minding it until the right one will come for it.
