Rath is a prehistoric earthwork monument located in Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The site comprises a circular or oval enclosed settlement, characteristic of Iron Age and Early Medieval defensive domestic structures in Ireland. Raths typically served as fortified homesteads for a single family or small community, with their defining feature being a substantial bank or rampart surrounding the interior settlement area. This example represents the type of territorial and domestic organisation that persisted across the Iron Age into the early historic period in Ulster and the wider Irish landscape.
