Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Moneymore is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Moneymore, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a gentle east-facing slope as a subcircular grass and thistle-covered area measuring 41.8 metres east-northeast to west-southwest and 36 metres north-northwest to south-southeast. An earthen bank and hedge six to seven point four metres wide surround the interior, while an outer fosse appears south-southeast to south-southwest.
