Rath one of a pair with tyr 051 is a ringfort situated in the townland of Omagh, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. The monument comprises an earthwork defensive structure typical of Early Christian settlement patterns in Ulster, with archaeological evidence indicating occupation during the early medieval period. As part of a paired ringfort complex, it represents a settlement form common to the region between the fifth and twelfth centuries, when such fortified homesteads served as the residences of farmers and minor nobility. The site's survival as an upstanding earthwork demonstrates the durability of these ancient Irish defensive systems.
