Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Kilconnell is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Kilconnell, County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies an oval area measuring approximately 40 metres from northwest to southeast and 35 metres from northeast to southwest on an east-facing slope. A scarp is clearly visible from the northwest to the south-southwest, while a ditch surrounds the interior. A separate field boundary encloses the monument, leaving a 3-metre gap in the scarp and a 4.5-metre gap in the boundary at the east.
