Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Drumnagranshy is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Drumnagranshy, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies pasture on the north-facing slope of a drumlin and preserves a twenty-one metre circular area bounded by two earthen banks separated by a fosse. The banks remain visible along the south, west and north arcs, while the northern entrance keeps breaks in both banks and a causeway across the fosse.
