Fairy fort / ringfort in An Fhaiche (bar. Na Déise Lasmuigh Den Drom) is a fairy fort or ringfort in An Fhaiche (bar. Na Déise Lasmuigh Den Drom), County Waterford, Ireland. The 1925 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map marked a circular embanked enclosure with an external diameter of about 55 metres, showing the perimeter missing at the south only. The Archaeological Inventory of County Waterford recorded the site in pasture at the bottom of a north-facing slope and stated that it was not visible at ground level during that account.
