Indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Carrowbaun (ballymoe By.), County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a D-shaped grass-covered area about 42m wide and 31m long on level ground near Lough Shad. An earthen bank runs along the west, north and east sides, while field walls complete the east and south boundaries. The southwest corner of the Aghclare Church graveyard cuts into the northeast perimeter, and no entrance or ditch remains visible.

Situated on a level landscape, c. 400m NE of the E end of Lough Shad. D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 41.6m E-W; 30.5m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4.6-6.3m; int. H 0.1-0.2m; ext. H 0.4-0.5m) SW-N-NE, and by a N-S field wall at E and an E-W field wall at S. There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance, but the SW corner of the graveyard (RO028-181002-) of Aghclare Church (RO028-181001-) truncates the perimeter at NE.
