Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cappagh is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cappagh, County Westmeath, Ireland. It sits on a low rise in gently undulating pasture-land, with a bog two hundred and fifty metres to the west and another ringfort four hundred metres to the northwest. The site consists of a slightly raised circular area approximately thirty-seven metres north to south and thirty-nine metres east to west, enclosed by a poorly preserved earthen bank and external fosse. The bank is best preserved from southwest through west to north-northwest, and a possible entrance gap is located at the east, while the interior slopes slightly from north to south with traces of cultivation ridges visible.
