RATH in Stranafeley

RATH

What is recorded here

Stranafeley holds a rath, an ancient earthwork whose boundary still marks the landscape in County Fermanagh. Whether it was a home, a fortress or a boundary marker, the shape suggests people lived there, defended it or gathered beside it. The name has survived even when the details faded, leaving a circle of soil where human ambition once stood.
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.
