Dunglady fort is a multivallate rath located near Magherafelt in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. The monument comprises the earthwork remains of an early Christian ringfort, characterised by its multiple defensive banks and ditches that define the enclosed settlement space typical of early medieval Irish domestic fortifications. The site also contains a Quaker graveyard, reflecting later religious use of the location. As a rath of early Christian date, the monument represents an important element of the early medieval settlement pattern in Ulster, though the precise chronology of its construction and occupation remains subject to archaeological interpretation.
