Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Skrine is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Skrine, County Roscommon, Ireland. The 1928 OS 6-inch map marked an oval enclosure about seventy metres east-west and fifty metres north-south on a southeast-facing slope of Skrine Hill. A separate rath sits two hundred metres to the south-southwest, while the fairy fort remains hidden beneath pasture rather than visible at ground level.
