Small hillfort is an Early Christian period hillfort located in the townland of Omagh, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. The monument represents a defensive or high-status settlement dating to the early medieval period, when such fortified enclosures were commonly constructed across Ireland as centres of power and protection. The site's precise archaeological character and state of preservation would require examination of available survey records and excavation data maintained within the Historic Environment Records system. As with many Irish hillforts of this era, it likely served either secular or ecclesiastical functions within the local settlement hierarchy.
