The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Clonmore South (Ardmayle parish) is in County Tipperary, Ireland. This scrub-covered, raised D-shaped area sits on a low knoll in wet flat grassland with wide views, measuring about 29 metres from northwest to southeast and 27 metres from southwest to northeast. It is defined by a bank reduced to a scarp 1.2 metres high and an outer ditch that has been filled in from the northeast through east to the southeast.
