Lisnavaragh fort is a rath situated in the townland of Lisnavaragh near Banbridge, County Down, Northern Ireland. The site consists of a univallate earthwork defence of a type characteristic of Early Christian period settlement in Ulster, typically dating to the period between the fifth and eighth centuries. The rath would have functioned as a fortified domestic enclosure for a person of some status, with the internal space capable of accommodating domestic structures and livestock. Such sites form an important part of the archaeological record of early medieval Ireland, providing evidence of settlement patterns and social hierarchy during the Early Christian period.
