Rath & possible souterrain is an Early Christian settlement site located near Dungannon in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. The monument comprises an earthwork rath, a characteristic ringfort enclosure of the Early Christian period, with evidence suggesting the presence of a souterrain, an underground stone-built passage chamber that typically served defensive or storage functions. This site represents the material culture of Early Christian Irish society, a period spanning roughly the fifth to twelfth centuries, when such fortified farmsteads were common throughout Ireland. The combination of rath and souterrain indicates settlement activity of significant status during the Early Christian era.
