Rath & cross-carved stone is a ringfort with associated carved stone located in the parish of Armagh, County Armagh, Northern Ireland. The rath itself represents a typical Early Christian settlement form, comprising an earthen or stone-built circular enclosure that served defensive and domestic purposes during the early medieval period.
