What is recorded here
Forfey in County Fermanagh holds a rath marked as a tree ring, a circular boundary drawn around life itself rather than a house or hill. The official record spans early Christian to modern times, suggesting the ring kept growing long after human hands stopped shaping it. Perhaps the land still breathes in that drawn line, marking years in bark and memory instead of soil.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH reused as TREE RING. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.; MODERN. 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.
