Bivallate rath is a defended enclosure located in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, dating to the early Christian period. The monument is characterised by its two concentric ramparts, which give the site its name and indicate a substantial residential or ecclesiastical settlement of considerable status. Such bivallate raths are relatively uncommon in the Irish archaeological record and suggest occupation by a person or community of notable rank during the early medieval period. The site remains an important example of early Christian settlement archaeology in Ulster.
