Tievenny Fort is a platform rath situated in the parish of Strabane, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. The site consists of a raised earthwork platform typical of early Christian period raths, monuments that served as defended homesteads and status symbols within early medieval Irish society. Platform raths of this type, dating to the early Christian period, were constructed by raising the internal ground level to create an elevated dwelling area surrounded by defensive earthwork banks. The monument remains an important archaeological record of early medieval settlement patterns and social organisation in the Ulster region.
