Lisraw rath and souterrain is an early Christian earthwork monument located in County Armagh, Northern Ireland. The site comprises a rath, a circular or oval defended homestead typical of early medieval Ireland, combined with a souterrain, an underground stone-built passage or chamber characteristic of Iron Age and early medieval settlement sites. The monument dates to the early Christian period and represents the form of elite or monastic settlement common in early medieval Ulster. The rath and souterrain together constitute evidence of occupation and land use during a significant phase of Irish settlement history, though detailed archaeological investigation of this specific site remains limited in the published record.
