What is recorded here
Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Carraghs East, County Roscommon, Ireland. A house built on the site in 2000 and a field wall crossing its south edge have removed most of the visible stone structure.
On a gentle S-facing slope. D-shaped area (int. dims 21.5m E-W; 14m N-S) defined by a grass-covered stone spread (at E: Wth 2.4m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.7m) W-N-E which is largely obscured by field stones and which had a limekiln built on the perimeter at E. An E-W field wall truncates the monument at S and no feature survives S of this. A house was built on it in 2000 (SMR file).
