  1. Hidden Treasure was found in a couple of places in the village such as follows:- at Blair's Wall, (Mo) Lacy's Wall and in Cruach Sherry Wood. Blair's Wall is situated on the lands of Huntstown. Lacy's Wall is situated on the lands of Cruiserath. Cruach Sherry Wood is situated on the lands of Buzzardstown.
    Blair's Wall.
    Once upon a time there was a man who was been executed in England. Before his execution he was asked had he anything to say. He asked was there anybody there from Mulhuddart and it happened that my great grandfather was there. He told him that if he went back to Blair's Wall he would find a pot of gold there. So he returned to Ireland and came to Blair's Wall and began digging and at last he found the pot of gold. It was with that money that he bought lands of Parslickstown.
