RATH in Ratoal

RATH

What is recorded here

RATH in Ratoal, County Fermanagh, is a rath, an ancient fortified place marked on the official map at the centre of its archaeological site. The name itself declares what the land still holds: a bounded home, a defensible ground, a human answer to openness. Whatever lived there before memory thinned has left its shape behind, waiting to be recognised in the boundary, the soil and the patience of the place.
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.
