Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Mullaghanarry is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Mullaghanarry, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies pasture on the west-facing slope of a rise and preserves a circular earthwork about thirty-five metres across. An earthen bank and shallow external ditch remain visible along parts of the perimeter, while the northern interior stands slightly above the surrounding ground.

In pasture, on the W-facing slope of a rise. A circular area (34m N-S; 36m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.2m; int. H 0.8m) along the N and S arcs and by a scarp elsewhere. An external flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 3.5m; D 0.2m) is evident along the S arc. The N portion of the interior is raised up to 0.4m above external ground level. 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).
