COUNTERSCARP RATH in Aghaherrish

COUNTERSCARP RATH

What is recorded here

Aghaherrish, County Fermanagh, Ireland: COUNTERSCARP RATH, an early Christian period site, still stands scheduled and named. The counterScarp is the inner slope of a defensive bank, the part that faces the people being kept out or the people being held inside. A rath with that name may have been built for one of those two purposes, and the difference changes every claim made about it.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as COUNTERSCARP RATH. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
