The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Lugdoon is in County Sligo, Ireland. It is a raised circular platform about twenty-five metres across, defined by an earthen bank three point four metres high. A fosse three point two metres wide and an external bank sit at the base of the mound. Dense scrub now covers the interior, blocking inspection of the rath.
