Trivallate enclosure is an uncertain enclosure located near Cookstown in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. The monument comprises an earthwork of three concentric banks and ditches, though its precise chronological attribution remains unclear within the archaeological record. The triple-vallate form suggests possible Iron Age or early medieval origins, though definitive dating evidence has not been established through excavation or scholarly consensus. Such multivallate enclosures in the Ulster region have variously been interpreted as hill forts, ritual sites, or territorial boundaries, reflecting the interpretive challenges posed by undated earthworks of this type.
