What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Carrigeen (ballintober North By.), County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a gentle east-facing slope as a circular grass and rush-covered area measuring thirty-nine metres north-south and thirty-eight point five metres east-west. An overgrown earthen bank surrounds the centre, though erosion has reduced part of the structure to a scarp and exposed a shallow fosse. Another rath stands two hundred and ten metres to the south-southeast.
