Lisglynn is a rath and souterrain located in County Armagh, Northern Ireland. The site consists of an early Christian ringfort with an associated underground stone-lined passage, typical of settlement complexes from the early medieval period in Ulster. The rath itself represents a fortified farmstead, whilst the souterrain would have functioned as a storage facility or refuge. Such dual-feature sites are characteristic of early Christian rural settlement in Ireland, dated broadly to the period between the fifth and ninth centuries.
