Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Carrownacreevy (tireragh By., Dromard East Ed) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Carrownacreevy (tireragh By., Dromard East Ed), County Sligo, Ireland. The raised circular area measures 25m across and retains a degraded earth and stone bank from NNW to SSE. A later NNE-SSW roadway destroyed the western perimeter and part of the interior, while a field boundary absorbed the southern bank. No entrance or outer ditch remains visible.
Situated on a low rise in undulating pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 25m) enclosed from NNW-N-SSE by a degraded, low bank of earth and stone (Wth. 2m - 3.4m; H 0.5m). From SSE-S-SW the bank was incorporated into a field boundary which has been levelled. From SW-W-NNW the perimeter and portion of the internal area have been destroyed as a consequence of the construction of a NNE-SSW roadway. No fosse. Original entrance not recognisable.
