Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Bunnacranagh is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Bunnacranagh, County Sligo, Ireland. The oval cashel sits on a west-facing slope and rises above the surrounding ground. Drystone wall foundations mark the interior edge, while a three-metre gap breaks the eastern boundary. The centre remains level beneath the gently descending inner slope.

On a W-facing slope. An oval area (37.5m N-S; 31.6m E-W) raised 0.8-1.7m above external ground level. The edge of the interior is defined by foundations of a drystone wall (max. Wth 1.8m; int.
