Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Rathmulpatrick is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Rathmulpatrick, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a NE-facing slope above the Feorish River, holding a circular area twenty-three metres across and raised eleven decimetres above the pasture. A three-metre grass band marks the possible line of a levelled bank, while the interior slopes gently toward the river and carries rushes.

In rough pasture, on a NE-facing slope overlooking the Feorish River and just below the summit of a ridge. A circular area (23m NW-SE) raised 1.1m above the surrounding ground level and truncated at SW by a field boundary. The interior is defined by a 3m wide band of grass that may mark the line of a levelled enclosing bank. The interior slopes gently down to NE and is overgrown with rushes.
