Sub-rectangular enclosure is a prehistoric earthwork monument located in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The enclosure comprises a sub-rectangular defensive or ceremonial structure defined by bank and ditch earthworks, characteristic of early Christian and late prehistoric settlement patterns in Ulster. Such enclosures typically served multiple functions including stock containment, domestic occupation, or ritual purposes during the early medieval period. The monument remains a significant example of the territorial and social organisation evident in the archaeological landscape of early Christian Ulster.
