Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ballyroddy, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a low rise on a gentle south-facing slope and contains a circular grass-covered area measuring 27.5 metres east-west and 26 metres north-south. A broad earthen bank surrounds the interior, reaches a maximum external height of two metres, and breaks at the east-northeast to form a three-metre entrance.
