Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Srananooan is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Srananooan, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies the top of a south-facing drumlin slope and measures roughly twenty-five metres across. An earthen bank and scarp define the circular area, while a shallow fosse traces part of the perimeter. A field bank cuts through the southeast section, and another rath lies two hundred metres to the north.
