Trivallate rath is a univallate ringfort located in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, dating to the early Christian period. The monument consists of a single bank and ditch enclosure typical of small fortified farmsteads that were widespread throughout Ireland during the early medieval centuries. Such raths served as defensive and residential centres for farming families of modest means, and their archaeological study contributes significantly to understanding settlement patterns and social organisation in early Christian Ireland. The site is recorded in the Northern Ireland archaeological monument register under HED NI NISMR MonID 4706.
