Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lomcloon is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Lomcloon, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a south-facing slope near the top of a ridge in pasture. A roughly circular raised area measures 25.2 metres north-south and 28.9 metres east-west inside an earthen bank 2.8 metres wide. The bank stands 0.4 metres high internally and 1.3 metres externally, with an eroded inner face that creates a concave profile.

An external fosse (D 0.4m), evident along the N arc, appears to have been recut as a drain. The interior is level and the eroded inner face of the bank gives it a concave profile.
