Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballyglass (tireragh By., Dromore Ed) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ballyglass (tireragh By., Dromore Ed), County Sligo, Ireland. The slightly raised circular area spans about 16m and sits in level pasture at the edge of an E-facing slope falling 20m to the Carrowcor River. A largely levelled earthen bank, 2.5m wide and 0.25m to 0.5m high, encloses the site, while a field fence on an ENE-WSW axis truncates the bank at the south.
