Dun Ruadh is a Neolithic henge monument located near Omagh in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. The site comprises a henge structure associated with multiple cist cairns and evidence of settlement activity, reflecting the complex ritual and domestic land use of the Neolithic period. The henge element, consisting of an enclosure defined by a ditch and bank, demonstrates the ceremonial significance of the location during the Neolithic era. The presence of cist cairns alongside the henge suggests that the site functioned as a multi-purpose landscape incorporating both ritual and funerary practices over an extended period of use.
