Rath with annexe is a prehistoric and early medieval fortified settlement located in Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The monument comprises a raised circular enclosure, or rath, with an adjoining annexe, representing a form of domestic fortification characteristic of early medieval Ireland, typically dating between the Iron Age and the early medieval period. Such raths served as defended farmsteads or residences for families of some social standing, with the earthwork banks providing both practical defence and symbolic demarcation of property and status. The presence of an annexe suggests expansion or modification of the original enclosure, possibly indicating changing household needs or agricultural activities during its occupation.
