Rath is a prehistoric ringfort located in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The monument comprises a circular or oval earthwork defined by one or more concentric banks and ditches, a defensive settlement form characteristic of Iron Age and early medieval Ireland. Raths served as fortified homesteads for farming families and were typically occupied over extended periods, though precise dating for individual examples often remains uncertain without archaeological excavation. This example represents the widespread distribution of such monuments across the Ulster landscape, reflecting the settlement patterns and social organisation of pre-Norman Irish society.
