Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Shurock (clonlonan By.) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Shurock (clonlonan By.), County Westmeath, Ireland. It is situated in pasture, with a nearby ringfort located approximately 130 metres to the northwest. The 1837 Ordnance Survey 6-inch map depicts it as a small circular-shaped earthwork, while the revised 1910 edition of the 25-inch map shows the same form defined by a field boundary from east through south to southwest. The monument appears as a roughly oval-shaped tree-lined earthwork on Digital Globe aerial photography.
