Derryneill mound is a raised rath located in Banbridge, County Down, Northern Ireland. The site represents an Early Christian period settlement, typical of the raths that proliferated across Ireland during the early medieval centuries. The monument consists of an elevated earthwork characteristic of rath construction, where domestic and possibly defensive purposes were served by a raised platform or ring-fort structure. Such sites are significant for understanding early medieval settlement patterns and social organisation in Ulster during the Early Christian period.
