At ambient pressure CeRhIn$$_5$$ is an incommensurate antiferromagnet with Neel temperature $$T_{rm N}$$ = 3.8 K. The application of pressure reduces $$T_{rm N}$$ and yields (1) a state in which AFM coexists with superconductivity, and then (2) a superconducting state in the absence of AFM. We report transverse-field muon spin relaxation ($$mu$$SR) measurements at pressures 2.07 and 2.26 GPa in the pure superconducting state of single-crystalline CeRhIn$$_5$$. $$mu$$SR is sensitive to the local field distribution produced by the vortex lattice in a mixed superconducting state, allowing a measurement of the magnetic field penetration depth $$lambda (T)$$. We measured $$lambda_{ab}(T)$$ for applied field along the $$c$$-axis as a function of temperature $$T$$, and find $$lambda_{ab}$$(0) = 372(5) nm and 338(6) nm for $$P$$ = 2.07 GPa and 2.26 GPa, respectively. The $$T$$-dependence of the superfluid density $$rho_s(T) propto lambda^{-2}(T)$$ was found to be $$rho_s(T) propto T^n$$ with $$n$$ = 1.9(2).
