Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cloonyquin (roscommon By.) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cloonyquin (roscommon By.), County Roscommon, Ireland. The D-shaped grass-covered area measures 20m north-south and 20m east-west on a slight north-facing slope. A fosse with a 3m top width and 0.5m internal depth bounds the west and northwest, while a 0.3m high scarp marks the northwest and north. Field banks truncate the east and south, though a possible 55m southern loop appears on aerial photographs.
