Rath is a ringfort located in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The monument consists of an earthen bank or banks forming an enclosed circular or oval enclosure, a characteristic defensive settlement type of early medieval Ireland. Raths served as farmsteads and defensive homesteads for the Gaelic aristocracy and farming families during the early Christian period and beyond, typically dating from the Iron Age through the medieval period, though many were occupied or reoccupied during the early Christian era. The earthwork remains at this site represent an important archaeological record of settlement patterns and land use in the region during the early medieval centuries.
