Lisgobban fort is a bivallate rath situated in the townland of Dungannon, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. The monument consists of two concentric earthen banks and intervening ditches, characteristic of Early Christian period raths that served as defended farmsteads or noble residences. Dating to the Early Christian period, this rath represents the domestic and defensive architecture typical of Irish ringforts constructed between the fifth and twelfth centuries. The site's bivallate structure suggests a settlement of some status, as such elaborated defences were generally undertaken by those of higher social rank within early medieval Irish society.
