Lisnabrean is a bivallate rath located in the Newry and Mourne district of Northern Ireland. The site dates to the early Christian period and represents a form of enclosed settlement characteristic of Early Medieval Irish and Irish-influenced communities. As a bivallate structure, it is defined by two concentric earthen banks and intervening ditches, a defensive configuration that distinguishes it from simpler univallate raths. Such sites typically served as domestic and possibly administrative centres for families of some status during the early medieval centuries.
