Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Kilnaseer is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Kilnaseer, County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies the east-facing slope of a low north-south ridge. The circular platform measures 30 metres north to south, rises 1 to 1.7 metres on a scarp, and preserves a possible two-metre entrance gap on the east beside surviving stone facing.

Situated on the E-facing slope of a low N-S ridge in undulating countryside. A raised circular platform (diam. 30m N-S) defined by a scarp (H 1-1.7m) with traces of an outer fosse (Wth 3.3m; D 0.5m) visible at S only with a possible destroyed entrance gap (Wth 2m) at E. Good evidence of external stone-facing of the scarp survives at E beside the destroyed entrance feature. A field fence intersects the site at W on a N-S axis.
