Drumaran fort is a rath located in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, representing a form of early medieval fortified residence typical of the Early Christian period in Ireland. The monument consists of an earthen ringfort, a defensive enclosure characteristic of the fifth to twelfth centuries, which served as the homestead of a person of local importance. Such raths functioned as the domestic and defensive centres of Gaelic Irish society during the early medieval period, with their banks and ditches providing protection for timber structures and livestock. The site is recorded in the archaeological heritage database under Monument ID 9518 and contributes to the archaeological understanding of settlement patterns and social hierarchy in early Christian Ulster.
