Lismalore fort is a bivallate rath situated near Dungannon in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. The monument consists of two concentric defensive earthen banks with intervening ditches, a defensive arrangement characteristic of Early Christian period Irish raths dating to approximately the fifth through eighth centuries. Such fortified homesteads served as the residences and administrative centres of local Irish nobility during the early medieval period. The site's bivallate construction suggests the status and importance of its occupants within the local territorial hierarchy of early Christian Ulster.
