Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Carrownaskeagh (roscommon By., Ogulla Ed) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Carrownaskeagh (roscommon By., Ogulla Ed), County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies the west edge of a broad low rise as a subcircular grass-covered area measuring 42 metres east-west and 37 metres north-south. An earthen bank surrounds the centre, separated by a flat-bottomed fosse from an outer flat-topped bank and an outer fosse visible as a band of reeds. The entrance appears at the southeast through gaps in both banks with a causeway across the inner fosse, though the outer defences are absent south-southwest and the inner bank has been quarried southwest to west.
