Overview

History & significance

Rath & bullauns (2) is an Early Christian rath situated in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The site comprises a circular earthwork of the type characteristic of Early Christian settlement and possibly monastic activity in Ireland, with associated bullaun stones—cup-marked stones of ritual or practical significance. The rath itself represents a phase of settlement dating to the Early Christian period, when such fortified or semi-fortified circular enclosures were common throughout the Irish landscape. The presence of bullaun stones at the site suggests continued use or veneration in connection with Early Christian religious practice, though the precise dating and functional interpretation of individual elements would depend on archaeological investigation and local historical records.
