    Hey folks, I live in the Wicklow mountains, new enough to the area , at the back of the garden which leads into unfarmed fields I noticed this hole when doing some garden work today, Its set into a 5ft bank at top of garden which is overgrown and no one goes up there, Its a fresh hole about 9" across,then narrows to 6"/7" further into it.

    I don't think its rabbits (there are rabbits in the immediate area) seems to big.
    The reason I am asking guys is that I was wondering could it be a badger? ,If so I don't want kids near it. Never seen a foxes den. far to big to be rats.

    Any thoughts greatly appreciated!

    With a nine inch burrow man?, there are cats around here one I feed in the garden so I would rule out rats an rabbits, and it ain't the cat!
