What is recorded here
Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Barnacullen, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a low-lying level landscape as a circular area nearly forty metres across, bounded by an earthen bank and an outer fosse to the south-southwest. The site has vanished from ground level because reclaimed pasture now covers the earthworks.
