Rallagh fort is a rath located near Limavady in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. The monument consists of an earthen circular enclosure typical of early Christian settlement sites in Ulster, dating to the early medieval period. Raths of this type served as defended homesteads or small settlements for farming communities and were widespread throughout Ireland from the Iron Age through the medieval period, though this example is assigned to the early Christian era. The site represents the form of domestic settlement characteristic of early medieval Ireland before the establishment of larger monastic or secular centres.
