COUNTERSCARP RATH in Killyhommon

COUNTERSCARP RATH

What is recorded here

Counterfort rath stands in Killyhommon, County Fermanagh, a buried wooden fortress from the early Christian period. It is not a castle or a church, but a military camp where people lived, fought and forgot. The ground still holds the shape of that forgotten camp, waiting for boots, rain and time to reveal what it kept.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as COUNTERSCARP RATH. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. 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.
