A fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Clare More is a circular earthen enclosure, likely dating to the early medieval period, constructed with a substantial stone-reinforced bank on its western side. Local folklore, common to many such sites in Ireland, associates it with fairy activity, and it may have been considered a sacred or supernatural place in both ancient and more recent times.
