What is recorded here

CounterScarp Rath stands in Rahalton, County Fermanagh, marked as a scheduled ancient earthwork rather than a modern invention. The countercarp is the outer edge of a defensive bank, suggesting the site excluded more than it revealed. A rath of that shape may have kept out invaders, weather or ordinary forgetfulness.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as COUNTERSCARP 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.
