Rath is a ringfort located in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The monument consists of a roughly circular earthwork enclosure, characteristic of the Iron Age and early medieval period of Irish settlement. Raths served as fortified homesteads and were typically occupied by families of moderate social standing, often housing domestic and agricultural activities within their defended perimeters. This example represents the substantial archaeological record of ringfort settlement across Ulster, which flourished particularly during the early Christian period and provides important evidence for settlement patterns and social organisation in early medieval Ireland.
