Benraw (from Irish Beann Rátha, meaning 'peak of the ring-fort')[1] is a townland of 860 acres in County Down, Northern Ireland, two miles north of Leitrim and six miles from Castlewellan.
It is situated in the civil parish of Drumgooland and the historic barony of Iveagh Upper, Lower Half.
[2] It is set in the middle of the Dromara Hills and Slieve Croob.
There is no fort in Benraw, but a slightly less than semi-circular arc remains on a ridge, formed by an inner ditch with outer bank, on what could have been a suitable site for a ringfort.
