Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Prughlish is a circular earthen platform in County Leitrim, Ireland. The original entrance is not identified. A band of rushes marks the external fosse, while a slight bank remains at the southwest edge. The unmarked entry and hidden shape keep the place alive under its ordinary grass and rush surface.
