RATH in Glenlevan

RATH

What is recorded here

RATH in Glenlevan, County Fermanagh, is a rath, an ancient earthwork still standing where human hands shaped the land long before modern borders drew their lines. The name itself is a record: a fortress, a boundary, a reason for building. Glenlevan gives it life, a valley where such a work would have faced weather, witness and memory. What is certain is that the place existed as a rath, and what is worthy is that it still belongs to the landscape rather than disappearing into obscurity.
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.
