What is recorded here
Forfey in County Fermanagh, Ireland, holds a rath where human hands released their claim and a tree took the shape back. The boundary stopped being a wall of stones or soil and became a living ring of wood, measuring years instead of keeping people out. What people built for control, the forest rewrote for patience.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH reused as TREE RING. Recorded period: MODERN; 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.
