Lambs Island is a platform rath situated in the townland of Craigavon, County Armagh, Northern Ireland. Dating to the early Christian period, this earthwork monument consists of a raised platform enclosed by defensive banks and ditches, representing a typical settlement form of the early medieval Irish aristocracy. The site demonstrates the territorial organisation and social hierarchy of early Christian Ulster, functioning as a defended homestead for a person of some status. Such raths were characteristic of Irish settlement patterns from approximately the fifth to the twelfth centuries.
