Penannular rath is a penannular earthwork monument located in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The site consists of a near-circular or incomplete circular bank and ditch, a form characteristic of early medieval Irish ringforts dating to the early Christian period. Such monuments typically served as enclosed farmsteads or residences for families of elevated social status, and their distribution across the Irish landscape reflects settlement patterns during the early medieval centuries. The penannular configuration, incomplete at one point, distinguishes this site from fully circular examples of the ringfort tradition common throughout the region.
