- Many people from this district dreamt that there was a treasure in a certain place at Lynch-Park.
They went to look for it, but could not find it.
People from Maynooth found out about it, and came in the night. They dug under some rock, and found it.
It was a beautiful golden image, but when they were taking it away, they broke a finger off it.
The finger was found by someone, from about the place, and he sold it for a great amount of money.
- Riddle-me, riddle-me, riddle-me, that, over the head, and under the hat?
Your hair.
How far can a dog go into a wood?
Only half-way, because, if he went any further, he would be going out of it. - Collector
