Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lissergloon is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Lissergloon, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies rough grazing on a south-south-east facing slope just below a ridge top. A twenty-metre circular area contains an earthen bank four-point-five metres wide and a point-five-metre external height on the upslope side. A one-point-two-metre scarp and low internal lip define the rest of the interior, while gorse covers the north perimeter.

In rough grazing, on a SSE-facing slope, just below the top of a ridge. A circular area (20m N-S) defined on the upslope side by an earthen bank (Wth 4.5m; int. H 1.3m; ext. H 0.5m) NW-NE which is incorporated into a field boundary N-NE. A scarp (H 1.2m) with a low internal lip defines the interior elsewhere. The N perimeter is overgrown with gorse. A slight external dip along the W arc may indicate an infilled fosse. The interior slopes gently down to S. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
