Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Keelogyboy is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Keelogyboy, County Sligo, Ireland. The raised circular area measures 28m across and has an earth and stone scarped edge rising 1.5m. A steep natural slope forms the western bank of the adjacent stream on the east side, while a modern drystone field wall tops the scarped edge from the west to northwest. The interior contains two levels with the eastern fifth sitting 0.7m lower than the remainder.
