Bivallate enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Doon (roscommon By.), County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies the western end of a low east-west drumlin ridge and presents a circular grass-covered area nearly forty metres across. A low earthen bank surrounds this centre, while a shallow fosse separates it from a wider outer bank. No original entrance remains visible within the eighty-five-metre east-west span.
