Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Barnaderg is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Barnaderg, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a slight north-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. A modern drystone field wall crosses the site west of centre, and another modern wall sits on the surviving bank from northwest to southwest. Limestone slabs line the base of the bank from northwest to east-northeast, while a two-metre break at the southeast may mark the original entrance.
Situated on a slight N-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 18m) enclosed by a bank of rubble limestone (Wth 5.25m; int. H 0.4m). No fosse visible. A modern NNE-SSW orientated drystone field wall crosses the site to W of centre crossing the edge of the site at NW and at SW. The stone bank has been removed to the W of this wall and the site is defined by a scarp. A modern drystone wall (Wth 0.8m; H 1.2m) has been constructed on top of the surviving bank NW-SW. From NW-ENE limestone slabs are laid on edge at the base of the bank as revetting. A break (Wth 2m) in the bank at SE may mark the position of the original entrance.
