Indicated (1838). is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ardline, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupied a SE-facing slope close to the top of a drumlin but became invisible at ground level. The 1838 OS 6-inch map showed an embanked circular area about thirty metres across, while the 1914 map retained only a curving field boundary that may have followed the original bank.
