This name probably means the "red shubbery or grove". Cherry trees are abundant in the district at present. It contained Glebe land.Ratheriddogue
I have seen this name explained as meaning "Craddock's fort" but I believe it unlikely.

The second portion of the word has probably some bearing on the mound or "cruic" on which the fort is built. There are no traces of buildings in the fort. It is said that there is an underground passage leading from this fort to another in land ownded by Mr Thomas Keogh and from there to Raheatly.(continues on next page)
