Conjoined raths is a pair of Iron Age or early medieval ringforts situated in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The monument comprises two circular earthwork enclosures with defensive banks and ditches that share a common boundary, a configuration that is relatively uncommon in the Irish rath tradition. Such conjoined examples may indicate dual occupation or use by related family groups during the prehistoric or early Christian period. The site represents an important variant in ringfort morphology and contributes to understanding settlement patterns and social organisation in ancient Ulster.
