Platform rath is a raised earthwork monument located in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. This form of rath, characterised by its elevated platform construction, represents a particular category of early medieval settlement and defensive structure dating to the Early Christian period. Platform raths are typically small, artificially raised circular or oval platforms, often surrounded by a bank or ditch, which served as domestic or residential sites for local élites during the first millennium AD. The monument reflects the settlement patterns and social organisation of Early Christian Ireland, when such fortified homesteads formed important nodes in the landscape hierarchy.
