Rath is a ring fort located in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. Ring forts of this type are typically Iron Age or Early Medieval in date, representing defended homestead settlements that were prevalent across Ireland during these periods. The monument consists of a circular or near-circular earthwork defined by one or more banks and ditches, which would have served both defensive and demarcatory functions for the occupying community. Such sites are among the most characteristic settlement forms of early medieval Ireland and contribute significantly to understanding the domestic and social organisation of rural populations in this region during the first millennium AD.
