Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ardkeenagh (plunkett) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ardkeenagh (plunkett), County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies the top of a south-facing slope as a subcircular grass-covered area measuring twenty-four and a half metres east-west and twenty metres north-south. An earthen bank two to three and a half metres wide surrounds the space, rising thirty to sixty centimetres internally and fifty centimetres externally. The monument joins another rath immediately west, though a north-south field bank now covers the junction and incorporates part of its perimeter.
