Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballynafid is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ballynafid, County Westmeath, Ireland. Situated on a ridge in rushy grassland, the site consists of a sub-circular area measuring 38 metres east to west and 40 metres north to south. It is enclosed by two banks of earth and stone with an intervening shallow fosse, while the inner bank is low and the outer bank is very poorly preserved with only slight traces visible. The uneven interior rises towards the centre, and a railway line lies 100 metres to the west.
