Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lisgarriff (Dolla parish) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Lisgarriff (Dolla parish), County Tipperary, Ireland. The circular enclosure sits on the lower northeast-facing slope of a high ridge. Although the site has been levelled, a circular outline roughly twenty-three metres wide from east to west remains visible. This outline is defined by a bank about three metres wide and forty centimetres high, with an outer ditch about three metres wide.

Situated on the lower NE-facing slope of a high ridge on a fairly steep incline. Depicted as a circular enclosure on the 1st ed. (1843) OS 6-inch map but not indicated on the 1904 ed. The site has been levelled but the outline of a circular area (diam. c. 23m E-W) defined by a bank (Wth c. 3m; H 0.4m) and outer fosse (Wth c. 3m) is still visible. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002).
