What is recorded here
Ardshankill in County Fermanagh holds a bivalate rath, a twin chamber of earth and memory from the early Christian period. Its two curves suggest a place set apart for thought, ritual or residence, while the surrounding land remained ordinary. The rath stands scheduled, meaning the state still recognises that this unusual shape belongs to everyone and must not be erased.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as BIVALLATE RATH. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
