  2. Áth Phúca

    Share Share Post
    This fort is in the eastern part of Rathduane. If a person went fishing in the stream in this fort a puca would come, and run away with them. He used to throw them into a bunch of briars. It is said that this was a person who wanted to fish the fort himself, and that is why it is called Áth-phúca.
