Rath, reused as tree ring and lime kiln, is a multiphase monument located in County Armagh, Northern Ireland. The site comprises an early Christian rath, a circular ringfort typical of early medieval Irish settlement patterns, which was subsequently adapted for later agricultural and industrial purposes. The monument's reuse as a tree ring structure and lime kiln represents the practical continuity of occupation at significant landscape features across different periods. The early Christian phase of the site reflects the settlement patterns of early medieval Ireland, whilst the later modifications document post-medieval land management and lime production activities.
