Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cloonanart Beg is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cloonanart Beg, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a NE-facing slope where a circular grass-covered area measures 23.6m east-west and 23.2m north-south. An earthen bank 3 to 3.5m wide defines the circle, though it reduces to a scarp from NNW to SE. A slight fosse 4 to 5m wide separates the inner bank from an outer bank 6.5m wide that survives only from S to NW.
