RATH: RATHKEEVAN in Rathkeevan

RATH: RATHKEEVAN

What is recorded here

Rathkeevan is an ancient fort in County Fermanagh, Ireland. The name itself declares the function: a rath, a defensive ring where people lived, argued, loved and raged before written history. Its stones may be buried, broken or forgotten, but the shape remains in the land. A fort is not a ruin; it is a room the earth kept closed.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH: RATHKEEVAN. 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.
