Rath is a prehistoric ringfort located in Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The monument comprises an earthen circular enclosure typical of Iron Age and early medieval defensive settlements in Ulster, with raised banks forming a characteristic ring-shaped defensive perimeter. Raths of this type served as fortified homesteads for local chieftains and their families, functioning as centres of economic and social authority within their territories. The site represents an important class of archaeological monument that documents settlement patterns and social hierarchy in early medieval Ireland.
