Rath, located in Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, is an Early Christian ringfort of early medieval date. The monument comprises a circular or sub-circular earthwork defined by banks and ditches typical of Irish raths, which served as fortified homesteads and enclosures for cattle. Such sites were characteristic settlements of the early Christian period in Ireland, generally dating from the fifth to twelfth centuries, and often show continuity of occupation from earlier Iron Age ringforts. The physical earthwork remains at this location preserve evidence of the settlement patterns and territorial organization of early medieval Fermanagh.
