Martray fort is a bivallate rath situated in Dungannon, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. The monument consists of two concentric defensive earthwork banks, characteristic of Iron Age and early medieval Irish ringforts, and dates to the early Christian period. Raths of this type typically served as the domestic and defensive centres of small farming communities or minor nobility, with the dual rampart system providing enhanced protection. The site represents the settlement archaeology of early medieval Ulster and contributes to understanding the territorial organisation and social hierarchy of post-Roman Ireland.
