Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Carrowconor is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Carrowconor, County Sligo, Ireland. The earth and stone bank encloses a twenty-six-metre circular area on a low rise in gently undulating pasture. Its north and northeast sections stand higher than the remainder to compensate for the natural slope of the ground. No surrounding ditch or original entrance remains visible today.
