What is recorded here
Clonturkle in County Fermanagh, Ireland, holds a rath, which means a fortified place or enclosure. The official record gives no date, size or shape, but the name and kind leave little doubt about what it was. A rath is not a vague mark. It is a boundary drawn around life, likely with a bank, ditch, fence or wall strong enough to keep out danger and hold in whatever mattered.
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.
