Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Kincuillew is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Kincuillew, County Sligo, Ireland. The levelled site sits on flat boggy ground below the Ox Mountains and keeps a twenty-two metre arc of scarp. The 1838 Ordnance Survey map showed the embanked circular area before modern changes altered the earthwork.
