Tandragee fort is a rath located near Limavady in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. The monument comprises an earthwork enclosure typical of early medieval Irish ringforts, consisting of a raised circular or oval platform surrounded by one or more defensive banks and ditches. Such raths were principally constructed during the early Christian period, roughly from the fifth to the twelfth centuries, serving as domestic and defensive settlements for families of rank within Hiberno-Norse and Irish society. The site represents the type of fortified homestead that was widespread across medieval Ireland and constitutes an important archaeological record of early medieval settlement patterns and land use in the region.
