Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Derrycallaghan is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Derrycallaghan, County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies a northeast-facing slope of rising ground in an upland area on poorly drained land. A D-shaped area, 25 metres from north to south, is enclosed by a poorly preserved bank 2 metres wide and 0.3 metres high that is reduced to a scarp in most places. A possible entrance gap 2.5 metres wide opens at the southeast, while a modern drain intersects the site at the northwest on a northeast-southwest axis.
