Clonvaraghan wood is a cashel and souterrain complex located in County Down, Northern Ireland, dating to the Early Christian period. The site comprises a fortified enclosure typical of early medieval Irish settlement patterns, together with underground stone-built passages characteristic of souterrain construction. A possible house platform within the cashel suggests domestic occupation during this period. The monument represents the archaeological record of Early Christian settlement and fortification practices in Ulster during the first millennium AD.
