Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Kilnaharry is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Kilnaharry, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies rough pasture at the top of a south-facing drumlin slope. A slightly raised circular area measures about twenty-one metres across and contains an earthen bank, external fosse, and southern causeway entrance. The south interior rises slightly to balance the hillslope before gently descending toward the entrance.
