Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Drumcondra is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Drumcondra, County Sligo, Ireland. The raised circular area straddles the east end of a narrow ridge in pasture. A low stone bank encloses the site, with a possible entrance at the east and three interior mounds that probably mark a field boundary. Another cashel lies about sixty metres to the north-northwest.
