Ringforts, known in Irish as raths, were the most common form of rural settlement in early medieval Ireland, typically enclosing a farmstead with one or more banks and ditches. Tens of thousands of them survive across the country in varying states of preservation, yet each one occupied a specific family's world, marking out their territory, sheltering their cattle at night, and anchoring their daily existence to a particular patch of ground. The one at Rehy is, for now, a name and a location, its details quietly waiting.
