Indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ballysundrivan, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a low hillock where a circular grass-covered area measures 35.5 metres from north to south. An earthen bank with bushes and a scarp define parts of the perimeter, while an outer fosse appears as a berm elsewhere. A quarry has damaged the northeast perimeter, and no visible entrance remains.
