The fairy fort or stone ringfort in Sroove is in County Sligo, Ireland. It is an oval cashel on a south-facing slope above Lough Gara, measuring 22.5 metres north-south and 28 metres east-west inside a collapsed drystone wall. The wall is 3.75 metres thick, stands 0.8 metres high inside and 0.5 metres high outside, and is mostly covered in sods.
