Mound in Carrowkeel (tireragh By.) is a mound in Carrowkeel (tireragh By.), County Sligo, Ireland. It stood in level pasture and measured about seven metres across and seventy centimetres high. An archaeological fieldworker recorded visible stone beneath grass in 1981 but thought it may have been no more than a clearance cairn.
