Local myth tells that Maggie Redhead was a witch who lived locally. Unfortunately she was put to death. Before being caught she managed to hide her gold underneath one of the many rocks.

Sean MacGowan, who stays on Maggie Redhead hill, will help me look for hut circles, possible cairns and hopefully rock art. There are rocks everywhere and Knock Hill is bang in front.
