What is recorded here
RATH in County Fermanagh is an archaeological site recorded for the early Christian period. A rath is a fortified enclosure, often circular or oval, built with earth or stone to protect people, animals and belongings. It may have served as a seasonal home, a refuge during storms or a marker of local authority. The ground still holds the shape of that choice, even when the buildings have vanished.
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.
