What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Carrowclogher, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a gentle south-facing slope at the west end of a drumlin ridge, marking a circular grass and rush-covered area roughly twenty-five metres across. An overgrown earthen bank still defines the shape, although people re-used part of it as a field bank and removed the rest. Two other raths stand within a few hundred metres to the northeast and east.

On a gentle S-facing slope towards the W end of a WNW-ESE drumlin ridge. Circular grass and rush-covered area (diam. 25.8m N-S; 24.7m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 3.2-3.8m; int. H 0.2-0.6m; ext. H 0.1-0.3m) which has been re-used as a field bank N-S-W and removed elsewhere. There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance.
