Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Sheerevagh is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Sheerevagh, County Sligo, Ireland. Faint traces of a raised roughly circular area about 22 metres wide remain at the top of the west-facing slope. The 1838 map showed an embanked circle about 25 metres across, while the 1914 map marked a raised circle about 20 metres across. Another rath lies 30 metres to the southeast.

In pasture, at the top of the W-facing slope of a low ridge. Only faint traces of a raised roughly circular area (diam. c. 22m) are evident. This rath was indicated as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 25m) on the 1838 OS 6-inch map and as a raised roughly circular area (diam. c. 20m) on the 1914 OS 6-inch map. Another rath (SL034-178001-) lies c. 30m to SE.
