Carnew fort is a rectangular enclosure situated in Banbridge, County Down, Northern Ireland. The monument is classified as an uncertain enclosure, indicating that whilst its defensive or boundary-marking function appears probable from its earthwork form, its precise chronological attribution and original purpose remain archaeologically unresolved. The site exhibits the characteristic rectilinear plan associated with Iron Age or later prehistoric fortifications in the region, though definitive dating would require archaeological investigation. Its survival as an upstanding earthwork contributes to the archaeological record of enclosed settlements in this area of Ulster.
