Raglan Hundred

Raglan hundred shown within Monmouthshire

Raglan (also known as Ragland and Rhaglan) is a Hundred of Monmouthshire.

It is situated in the eastern part of the county, bounded on the north by the hundred of Skenfrith; on the east by Gloucestershire's St Briavels Hundred; on the south by the hundred of Caldicot; on the south-west by the hundred of Usk and on the north-west by the hundred of Abergavenny.
