Rath is a Bronze Age ringfort located in County Armagh, Northern Ireland. The site consists of a circular or sub-circular earthwork enclosed by one or more banks and ditches, a form of settlement characteristic of Bronze Age and Iron Age Ireland. Such raths served as defended homesteads or territorial markers for elite families and their dependants during the Bronze Age period. The monument represents an important class of prehistoric Irish domestic settlement and contributes to understanding settlement patterns and social organisation in the north of Ireland during the later Bronze Age.
