Indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Deenodes, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies undulating pasture near the north-west edge of a low ridge. A slightly raised circular area measures twenty-four point six metres northeast-southwest and twenty-five metres northwest-southeast. An earthen bank two point five metres wide encloses the space with internal and external heights between zero point six5 and zero point seven metres.

The bank is low internally E-S and incorporated into a field boundary system W-N. Low eroded gaps occur in the bank at SSE (Wth 1m) and W (Wth 1.2m). The interior slopes gently down to S. There is a quarry immediately outside the bank at NW.
