Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Lugnamackan is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Lugnamackan, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies an oval area roughly 51m by 48m near the top of a gentle south-facing slope, conjoined to another cashel at the southwest. A stone wall encloses the pasture site, though dense overgrowth now covers much of the structure. A two-metre wide western entrance was noted during a 1992 inspection.
