Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Milltown (castlereagh By., Castleteheen Ed) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Milltown (castlereagh By., Castleteheen Ed), County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupied a SE-NW valley bottom as a circular grass and rush-covered area measuring 29m NE-SW and 28.1m NW-SE. An earthen bank with bushes and an outer fosse defined the perimeter, while a NE-SW field bank overlies the interior towards the SE perimeter. The structure is no longer visible because it was removed before 2012.
