Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Faus is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Faus, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies the west end of a slight east-west ridge and preserves a circular grass-covered area roughly thirty-seven to thirty-eight metres across. A grass-covered stone spread defines the perimeter, while a four-metre southern gap may mark an enlarged original entrance.

H 0.2m at S to 0.6m at N; ext. H 0.2m at S to 0.6m at W). A gap (Wth 4m) at S may be an enlarged original entrance.
