What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Bealragh, County Roscommon, Ireland. It appeared as a circular embanked enclosure on the 1837 map and as a D-shaped feature truncated by field banks on the 1914 map. The site sits at the east end of a short ridge but remains hidden inside reclaimed pasture. Three other raths within 180m confirm a dense local cluster of earthen works.
