Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lisnarawer is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Lisnarawer, County Sligo, Ireland. The raised oval area measures 26.4m NE-SW and 22m NW-SE, enclosed by a substantial bank of earth and stone 4.4m wide and 0.1m to 0.9m high. From S-W-WNW the outer face merges with a modern curving field boundary, while from WNW-NW-N a scarp defines the edge. No fosse is present, and the original entrance may have been at NE.
