Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Correagh is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Correagh, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a slight west-facing slope as a subcircular grass-covered area measuring twenty-six metres east-west and twenty-two point three metres north-south. An earthen bank two point seven to four metres wide and up to one point two metres high on the outside defines the perimeter, although the north-east section reduces to a shallow scarp. Two field walls cross the interior, and Rath lies approximately one hundred and thirty metres to the north-east.
