What is recorded here
Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Aghamore (roscommon By., Aughrim West Ed), County Roscommon, Ireland. The circular grass-covered area spans about twenty-eight metres across the bottom of a south-facing drumlin slope. An overgrown earthen bank surrounds the centre, while an outer fosse cuts through the ground from southwest to southeast. The perimeter reduces to a one-metre scarp on the southeast and southwest, leaving no visible entrance.
