'mischievous creature' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'skipping turn in burlington and confusing them' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'turn' could be 'go' (a person's move in a board game) and 'go' is found in the answer.
'in' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for goblin that I've seen before include "nasty little thing" , "Naughty sprite" , "Malevolent gnome" , "Malevolent imp" , "Mischievous sprite" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
