Rath is a prehistoric earthwork monument located in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The site represents a ringfort or fortified homestead, a settlement type characteristic of Iron Age and early medieval Ireland, typically consisting of a circular or oval enclosure defined by one or more banks and ditches. Such raths served as defensive and residential structures for farming communities and were widely constructed from the Iron Age through the medieval period. The monument's surviving earthwork remains provide archaeological evidence of settlement patterns and domestic organisation in prehistoric and early medieval Ulster.
