Indicated is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Manor, County Roscommon, Ireland.

A modernised entrance cuts through the southeast, while slight traces of a fosse remain along the south-west. Old quarries mark the western and eastern perimeters, and another rath sits fifty metres to the north-west.
