Rath is an earthwork monument located near Cookstown in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. The site represents a form of Iron Age or early medieval fortified settlement, though its precise dating remains uncertain without archaeological investigation. Raths are characteristically small, circular or oval enclosed homesteads defined by one or more concentric banks and ditches, and this example follows that typical morphology. Such monuments are widespread across the Irish landscape and represent domestic settlements of considerable antiquity, though the specific chronological and cultural context of this particular rath at Cookstown cannot be definitively established from surface evidence alone.
