Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Tully (corran By.) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Tully (corran By.), County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies pasture on a drumlin and forms a roughly circular space 29 by 32 metres across. An inner earth and stone bank, 3.5 metres wide and 1.95 metres high outside, stands beside a 4 metre ditch and a thinner outer bank visible mainly from south to north. A possible 2.5 metre entrance faces southeast, while a possible underground passage lies in the northern half of the interior.
