Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ballyconboy, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a circular grass-covered area towards the bottom of the N-facing slope of Rathcroghan ridge. A scarp and slight bank define the perimeter, while faint fosse traces mark the north and south edges.
