Sweat house is an uncertain sweat house located in Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The structure represents a building type traditionally associated with therapeutic bathing practices in Ireland, though the specific dating and functional interpretation of this particular example remain subject to scholarly debate. Sweat houses, when confirmed, typically comprise small stone-built chambers heated by fires, and would date to various periods from the medieval through early modern era, though some may be considerably later. The designation as "uncertain" reflects the archaeological difficulty in distinguishing definitively between sweat houses and other small vernacular structures without excavation or documentary corroboration.
