Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ballyglass (athlone North By.), County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a subcircular grass-covered area towards the top of a NE-facing slope, measuring about 36m WNW-ESE and 32.5m NNE-SSW. A slight scarp or broad rise defines the boundary, while the S-SW section is incorporated into a field bank. Two other raths sit nearby, one 90m to the NNW and the other 20m to the E.
