Greer's Fort is a rath located in County Armagh, Northern Ireland. The site represents a form of Irish ringfort settlement characteristic of the early Christian period, though the precise dating and developmental history of this particular example remain incompletely documented in the scholarly record. Raths of this type typically served as fortified homesteads or small settlements and are amongst the most numerous field monuments surviving from early medieval Ireland. The archaeological record for Greer's Fort would benefit from further systematic investigation to clarify its chronology and cultural context within Armagh's settlement patterns.
