RATH in Glenwinny

RATH

What is recorded here

RATH in Glenwinny, County Fermanagh, is a recorded archaeological site where a boundary or enclosure once cut through living land. The name still belongs to the place even though the shape has faded from common memory. A Rath is not a vague dot on a map; it is a marker of human claim, perhaps a fence, bank, field edge or small defended place. Glenwinny keeps that claim alive because the land still answers when the name is spoken.
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.
