Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ardnaglass Lower is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ardnaglass Lower, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a slight rise in gently undulating pasture and forms a raised oval area measuring 24 metres north-south and 26 metres east-west. An earth bank 4.85 metres wide and 0.3 metre high encloses the centre, while an external fosse 4.7 metres wide and 0.6 metre deep surrounds it. A 2.8 metre break in the bank with a causeway across the fosse at the northeast marks the original entrance, and a possible man-made underground passage touches the inner face of the western bank.
