Rath & possible house platform is an Early Christian ringfort located in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The monument comprises a rath, a circular or oval earthwork defence characteristic of early medieval Irish settlement, accompanied by what may represent an associated house platform within or adjacent to the fortified enclosure. Such raths are typical of the Early Christian period in Ireland, generally dating from the fifth to twelfth centuries, and functioned as the defended homesteads of free farmers and minor nobility. The presence of a possible house platform indicates domestic occupation and structural activity within the ringfort's defended space, typical of how such settlements were utilised during the early medieval period.
