Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Pallas More is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Pallas More, County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies a north-facing upland slope near another ringfort to the southwest. A 2.5-metre earth-and-stone bank encloses its 22-metre circular area, standing 0.3 metres high inside and 1.5 metres high outside.
