Rahallan is a bivallate rath located in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The monument comprises two concentric earthen banks and ditches, a defensive arrangement characteristic of Early Christian period raths in Ulster. Dating to the Early Christian period, Rahallan represents a typical example of the fortified farmsteads that served as the residences of the Irish landed classes between approximately the fifth and tenth centuries. The bivallate configuration suggests a settlement of some substance, as the additional outer defence would have offered enhanced protection for livestock and inhabitants during this period of considerable social stratification.
