Rath reused as tree ring is an archaeological monument located in Dungannon, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. The site comprises a rath, a prehistoric or early medieval ringfort earthwork, which was subsequently reused during the Christian period, as evidenced by the presence of a tree ring feature that post-dates the original construction. Raths served as fortified homesteads and were characteristic of Irish settlement patterns from the Iron Age through the medieval period, though the majority date to the early medieval centuries. The reuse of this site demonstrates the continuity of occupation and the adaptation of earlier defensive structures for later Christian-period settlement or activity.
