- At a place known as the Ninch, which lies between Julianstown and Laytown, a Lepracaun was known to dwell. His usual occupation was shoe making. It is said that he knew where gold was buried and if people caught him, they could make him tell where it was hidden. Several people tried to catch him, but they never succeeded as he always disappeared when he came to a certain spot.
