Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Carrownadargny is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Carrownadargny, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies rocky pasture on a west-facing slope, where a ruinous sod-covered wall encloses an oval area with a western entrance. A separate stone wall divides the southern interior, while a possible underground passage and central hollow remain visible among the vegetation.
