Ballintine rath is a ringfort located near Lisburn in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The monument consists of a circular or sub-circular earthwork with a substantial bank and internal ditch, characteristic of early Christian period raths that typically date from the late Iron Age through the medieval period. Such fortified enclosures served as domestic and defensive structures for the local aristocracy and their households, and this example contributes to the significant distribution of raths across the Ulster landscape. The site remains substantially preserved as an upstanding earthwork and is recorded within the Northern Ireland Sites and Monuments Record under designation HED NI NISMR MonID 6683.
