Rath with later annexe is an Early Christian rath located in Banbridge, County Down, Northern Ireland. The site comprises a ringfort with a subsequent annex structure, indicating occupation and modification across different periods of settlement. As an Early Christian monument, it represents the type of enclosed farmstead and administrative centre common in Ireland from the fifth century onwards, when such earthworks served both defensive and territorial functions for local communities and ecclesiastical establishments. The survival of both the primary rath and its later addition provides archaeological evidence of site continuity and adaptive use through the early medieval period.
