RATH in Ardgart

RATH

What is recorded here

No visible mound remains in Ardgart, County Fermanagh, yet the name Rath still marks the ground where a fortified place stood. The lost structure may have had a wooden wall, a stone foundation or only a deep ditch, but the community preserved its identity long after the building disappeared. That much smaller marker resists the assumption that every important Irish place must present a grand ruin.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as 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.
