Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Doonally (carbury By., Drumcliff East Ed) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Doonally (carbury By., Drumcliff East Ed), County Sligo, Ireland. The slightly raised circular area measures twenty metres across and sits on a moderate southwest-facing slope in gently undulating pasture.
