Rath, located in Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, is an Early Christian ringfort dating to the early medieval period. The site consists of an earthen circular or oval enclosure defined by a bank and ditch, a characteristic defensive feature of settlement sites in Ireland during the Early Christian era, typically dating from the fifth to twelfth centuries. Such raths commonly served as the fortified homesteads of Irish nobility and were the primary form of domestic settlement in medieval Ireland. The monument at this location represents an important archaeological record of Early Christian settlement patterns and social organisation in the Ulster region.
