Indicated is a fairy fort or ringfort in Cabragh (tireragh By.), County Sligo, Ireland. The slightly raised circular area sits in pasture on a low rise, with an earthen bank forming its northwestern edge and a slight scarp marking the rest. A rectangular section has been quarried from the southwest quadrant, while two field fences cut across or abut the interior.
