The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Rossacrow (Aghacrew parish) is in County Tipperary, Ireland. Its raised circular area measures 21.5 metres east to west at the base of a west-facing slope. An earth-and-stone bank encloses it, and the source records no visible entrance feature. A field boundary crosses the west side, where a 10-metre triangular raised platform may mark the intersection of earlier boundaries that enclosed the monument.
