Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Corbally West is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Corbally West, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a gentle north-facing slope of a low hill as a D-shaped grass-covered area measuring 29.5 metres northwest-southeast and about 27 metres northeast-southwest. A three-metre-wide earthen bank remains at the east entrance, while a shallower scarp and outer fosse mark the rest of the perimeter. A northwest-southeast field bank cuts across the southwest edge.
