Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Rathdiveen,reycroftspark is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Rathdiveen,reycroftspark, County Roscommon, Ireland. The subcircular grass-covered area measures 46.5m north-south and 43.5m east-west on a shelf with rock outcrop towards the bottom of a gentle north-facing slope. A grass-covered stone spread defines the perimeter, with intermittently visible facing-stones and a natural two-metre scarp forming part of the boundary from northwest to northeast. No visible entrance remains, though a field-wall and townland boundary now cross the interior just south of the centre.
