Bivallate rath is a prehistoric fortified homestead located in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The monument consists of two concentric defensive earthen banks, which characterises its bivallate form and suggests construction during the early Christian period or late Iron Age, periods when such enclosed domestic settlements were prominent in Ireland. The double rampart system would have provided enhanced defensive capability and possibly denoted elevated social status of its occupants. Such raths served as residences for elite families and their dependents, functioning as centres of local authority and economic activity within their surrounding territories.
