Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cartron (roscommon By., Rossmore Ed) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cartron (roscommon By., Rossmore Ed), County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a slight rise in a broad east-west valley and presents a D-shaped grass platform measuring 27.6 metres north-south and 25.6 metres east-west. A low scarp defines the edge, though a north-south field bank truncates the eastern side. Gannon recorded a possible northern entrance but found no visible fosse.
