Platform rath is a raised earthen platform monument located in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The site dates to the early Christian period and represents a form of residential enclosure characteristic of early medieval Ireland, when such structures served as high-status settlement sites. The platform construction, typical of raths from this era, would have supported domestic and possibly defensive functions within the early Christian landscape. The monument survives as an archaeological feature of significance to understanding settlement patterns and social organisation in early medieval Ulster.
