Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ballyglass (athlone North By.), County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a gentle NE-facing shelf where faint grass-covered traces form a D-shaped area measuring about 31m east-west and 30m north-south. A broad 0.2m bank marks the straight eastern edge, while stone-faced earthen field banks define the southern and western boundaries. Three other raths appear within 200m to the NW, NNW and SE.
