Bivallate rath is an Early Christian enclosed settlement located near Omagh in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. The monument consists of a residential enclosure defined by two concentric banks and ditches, a defensive configuration that was characteristic of Irish raths from the Early Christian period, roughly the 5th to 12th centuries. Such bivallate structures typically indicate a settlement of some status or importance, as the double fortification required considerable labour to construct and maintain. The site represents a significant example of Early Christian domestic and social organisation in Ulster.
