Indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Coolagarry (frenchpark By.), County Roscommon, Ireland. The D-shaped grass-covered area sits on the crest of a low ridge and measures 24 metres north-south by 15.5 metres east-west. An overgrown earthen bank defines the perimeter, though quarrying has removed two metres of material from the north-east, east and south-west sections. No visible fosse or entrance remains.
