Trivallate rath is an early Christian ringfort located in the Newry and Mourne district of County Down, Northern Ireland. The monument comprises a circular or sub-circular earthwork enclosed by banks and ditches, typical of the rath form which served as defended homesteads during the early medieval period. Such raths, particularly those with early Christian associations, date from the period between the fifth and twelfth centuries and represent a significant settlement type in Irish archaeology. The site's designation as an early Christian rath indicates evidence of Christian occupation or use, reflecting the integration of Christian practice into rural settlement patterns during the early medieval centuries.
