Gordon's Fort is a multivallate rath located in County Armagh, Northern Ireland. The monument consists of multiple concentric earthen banks and ditches, characteristic of the more substantial enclosed settlements of early Christian Ireland. Dating to the early Christian period, this rath represents the defensive and domestic architecture typical of the aristocratic settlements of the first millennium AD in Ulster. The site's multiple vallations suggest either a settlement of considerable importance or successive phases of defensive reinforcement during its occupation.
