Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Carrowreagh (tirerrill By.) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Carrowreagh (tirerrill By.), County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies rough pasture on the southeast-facing slope of a ridge. An eroded earthen bank and scarp define a circular area twenty-two by twenty-four metres across. A band of rushes may mark the line of a silted-up fosse, while the interior slopes downward and supports thick growth of grass and rushes.
