Coen's Fort is a rath located near Banbridge in County Down, Northern Ireland. The site represents a典型 example of early medieval Irish earthwork fortification, characteristic of the period from approximately the fifth to twelfth centuries. The monument comprises a circular or sub-circular enclosure defined by one or more banks and ditches, typical defensive features of such ringforts. Like many raths in Ulster, Coen's Fort would have served as a fortified farmstead or residence for a person of some status within early Christian Irish society, with the earthworks providing both defensive capability and a marker of social standing within the local community.
