Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Kiltycahill is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Kiltycahill, County Sligo, Ireland. The circular raised area measures 27 metres across and contains a low earth bank that reaches 0.3 metres in height. A possible underground passage appears at the south end of a slightly raised interior section, while the original entrance remains unrecognisable.
