Rough Fort is an uncertain earthwork located in Coleraine, Northern Ireland. The monument consists of an earthwork of indeterminate date and function, reflecting the challenges in classification that affect many upstanding archaeological features in the region where erosion, land use, and limited excavation have obscured original characteristics. Without definitive archaeological investigation or secure dating evidence, its period of construction and historical significance remain unresolved. Such uncertain earthworks form an important component of the archaeological record, as their very ambiguity reflects gaps in our understanding of settlement and land use patterns across Ulster's landscape.
