What is recorded here
Cultiafadda holds a broken circular rath thirty-nine metres wide on a grassy ridge overlooking northern bogland. A field bank now cuts through its eastern edge, reducing the ancient boundary to a faint western arc. The place suggests people once shaped the summit before forgetting or losing the meaning of the shape.
On a ridge summit in grassland overlooking bogland to N. Poorly preserved circular rath (D 39m) defined by a bank from W through N to E. No visible surface trace survives elsewhere. A field bank cuts the monument at NE and E.
