Descriptive Gazetteer Entry for Agabatha

Agabatha, an ancient military fort in Collessie parish, Fife, on a small eminence near Trafalgar hamlet. It and another fort, the Maiden Castle, appear to have been formed to command the pass from Newburgh to the central part of Fife: and they must have been important stations. The eminence on which Agabatha stood was surrounded by a moat.
