Rath is a prehistoric earthwork monument located near Dungannon in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. The site represents a ring fort or fortified settlement typical of Iron Age and early medieval settlement patterns in Ulster, consisting of a circular or oval earthen bank that would have enclosed a domestic or defensive space. Such raths served as residences for the local aristocracy and were a common feature of the Irish landscape from the Iron Age through the medieval period. The monument's surviving earthwork, though diminished by later agricultural activity, retains archaeological value as evidence of early settlement and land use in the Dungannon area.
