Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Moanmore (Solloghodmore parish) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Moanmore (Solloghodmore parish), County Tipperary, Ireland. A circular raised area 20 metres across is defined by a low broad inner bank, a wide flat-bottomed outer ditch and a second low broad earthen bank. A modern break cuts the inner bank at the east, while drainage has removed part of the outer bank at west-southwest. A break 4 metres wide in the inner bank at the west, with traces of a causeway across the ditch, marks the original entrance.
