Rathacugga

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

In grassland. Described by Cody (1989, 198-200, no. 49) as a poorly preserved circular rath (diam. 65m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. There was a wide causewayed gap (Wth 15m) at S and within the interior an internal division which cut off SE quadrant from the rest of the site. In 2011 the monument was damaged when the outer bank was levelled and the resulting material was pushed inwards to infill the fosse.
