Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Knockgrania (corran By., Drumrat Ed) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Knockgrania (corran By., Drumrat Ed), County Sligo, Ireland. The circular earthwork sits on an east-facing slope in rough pasture, with a low narrow bank enclosing a space roughly twenty-four metres across. Numerous gaps mark the bank, while a western entrance leads into an interior where the eastern ground rises to balance the hillslope. A road running north-northwest to north-northeast cuts across one edge of the rath.

Numerous gaps occur in the bank and the entrance (Wth 2.2m) is at W. The E portion of the interior is raised to compensate for the hillslope. The edge of the rath is truncated by a road NNW-NNE.
