Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Garrycastle is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Garrycastle, County Westmeath, Ireland. Situated on a south-facing slope on the demesne lands of Garrycastle Old House, which is located 200 metres to the north-northwest, the site may be a ringfort depicted as a landscaped tree-ring on an Estate Map dating from 1820. The earthwork was not depicted on any edition of the Ordnance Survey maps, and a 1983 account described it as a levelled site with no surface remains visible. The area is now occupied by a building within the Athlone Business and Technology Park, as shown on Digital Globe aerial photography.
