A number of gold items have been found at the site also, as well as a burial site linked with later use of the site.[2] Evidence of metal working comes from casts for tools and weapons,[5] with burials pointing to a ritual element to the site beyond its agricultural and domestic use.[6] There are numerous legends that are associated with the site including fairies and as a site of pilgrimage for childless couples.[7] References1. ^{{cite web|last1=Dowling|first1=Simon|title=Rathgall Hillfort, Co.
