Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cartron (boyle By., Crossna Ed) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cartron (boyle By., Crossna Ed), County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a circular overgrown area twenty-one metres across on the southeast-facing slope of a drumlin. A scarp rises zero point two to one metre high along the northeast, south and west edges, while facing stones mark the southwest and west sections. A shallow depression inside the southwest perimeter may be a collapsed underground passage, and Cashel stands about one hundred and eighty metres to the northeast.
On the SE-facing slope of a drumlin. Circular overgrown but poached area (diam. 21m) defined by a scarp (H 0.2-1m) NNE-S-W with facing stones SW-W, but merging into the slope W-N. There is no visible fosse or entrance, but a depression (dims. 7.5m NW-SE; 3.5-4m; NE-SW; D 0.2-0.4m) inside the perimeter at SW may be a collapsed Man-made underground passage (RO003-054002-).
