Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Moanmore (Solloghodmore parish) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Moanmore (Solloghodmore parish), County Tipperary, Ireland. It is the easternmost of three ringforts in gently undulating pasture, with the other two located 10 metres to the southwest and 20 metres to the west. A circular raised area about 20 metres across is defined by a low broad earthen bank, beside which lies a wide waterlogged ditch and a second external earthen bank. Dense bushes and briars block entry to the level interior, and the original entrance is no longer recognisable.
