RATH

What is recorded here

RATH in Fedian, 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 treasure. It may have served as a local dwelling, a seasonal stronghold or a marker of authority within the wider landscape. The surviving ground remains silent, but its shape suggests a life of defense, routine and human presence.
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.
