Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Manor is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Manor, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a north-facing slope above a northeast-southwest valley and contains a grass-covered area roughly twenty-six metres across. Earthen banks form arcs on the northwest, northeast and southwest sides, while a field wall cuts the western edge and blocks continuation elsewhere. Two other raths stand within one hundred metres to the north and east-northeast.
