Knocknahur (Irish: Cnoc na hIora, meaning 'hill of the surety'),[1] also known as Ransboro, is a village in County Sligo, Ireland.
Evidence of ancient settlement in the area includes examples of ringforts, souterrains and enclosures in the neighbouring townlands of Knocknahur North and Knocknahur South.[2] The megalithic complex at Carrowmore lies approximately 1 km east of the village.
The area is home to Ransboro National School,[3] the church of Our Lady Star of the Sea (in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Elphin) [4] and the grounds of Coolera/Strandhill GAA club at Ransboro Park.[5]
