Rath is an Iron Age and early medieval ringfort located in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The monument consists of a circular or sub-circular earthwork enclosed by one or more defensive banks and an internal ditch, a defensive form characteristic of Irish raths that were occupied from the Iron Age through the medieval period. Such ringforts served as fortified homesteads for the local aristocracy and were centres of both domestic and economic activity. The site represents the archaeological record of early settlement patterns in the region and contributes to understanding of Iron Age and early Christian period settlement hierarchy in Ulster.
