Bivallate rath is a prehistoric Irish ringfort located in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The monument is defined by its distinctive dual defensive earthwork banks, which give the site its name and represent a more elaborate form of the single-banked rath typical of early medieval settlement in Ireland. Such bivallate examples are generally considered to date from the Iron Age through the early medieval period, though precise chronology for individual sites remains uncertain without excavation. The rath represents an important category of defended domestic enclosure within the broader settlement archaeology of northern Ireland.
