What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Bredagh (athlone South By., Rockhill Ed), County Roscommon, Ireland. A 1.35m scarp defines a 27m overgrown arc, while a field wall bisects the site and removes the northwest section.

Marked on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a D-shaped embanked enclosure (ext. dims c. 35m NW-SE; c. 35m NE-SW) with the straight side at the NE and on the 1915 ed. as a circular feature (diam. c. 35m). Situated just off the NE-facing crest of a NE-facing slope. An arc of a overgrown platform survives NE-S (C 27m) defined by a scarp (H 1.35m). The monument is bisected by a NE-SW field wall and does not survive NW of this feature. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
