The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Garryclogh is in County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupied a slight northwest-facing slope of rising ground in pasture with good views in all directions. The 1989 record described a well-preserved but overgrown circular platform 27 metres across, enclosed by an earthen bank 9 metres wide and 1.2 metres high.
