Bivallate rath is a Early Christian period ringfort located in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The monument is defined by its characteristic double defensive banks and ditches, which give the site its bivallate classification and would have enclosed a residential and domestic space typical of Early Christian elite settlement. Such raths functioned as fortified homesteads during the Early Christian period and represent a significant category of archaeological evidence for settlement patterns and social organisation in medieval Ireland. The site's preservation and recorded status within the Northern Ireland Sites and Monuments Record demonstrates its importance to understanding the distribution and character of Early Christian settlement in the province.
