Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Toberanania is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Toberanania, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies wet pasture on the north-facing slope near a hill summit. A circular space thirty-two metres wide sits inside a heavily eroded earthen bank four metres wide. A wet ditch two-point-two metres wide and half a metre deep runs outside that bank.

In wet pasture, just off the summit on the N-facing slope of a hill. A circular area (int. diam. 32m) enclosed by a heavily eroded earthen bank (Wth c. 4m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 1m). An external wet fosse (Wth 2.2m; D 0.5m) is crossed by a linear field drain at S. The entrance (Wth 4m) is at E with a corresponding causeway across the fosse. The NE quadrant of the rath is covered with overgrowth. The interior is level. A NNW-SSE field boundary crosses the E edge of the rath.
