Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cloonanart More is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cloonanart More, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies the top of a broad hill as a D-shaped grass-covered area measuring 40.4 metres north-south and 35.2 metres east-west. An earthen bank 3 to 4 metres wide and 0.4 to 1.3 metres high defines the perimeter, while a slight fosse appears along the southwest and west-northwest sections. The straight eastern side extends 20 metres and connects with a relict field bank, and an out-turned entrance marked as probably modern opens toward the south-southeast.
