What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Carrowduff AND Garbally, County Roscommon, Ireland. It appeared as a circular embanked enclosure about 35m wide on 1837 and 1915 maps, sitting on the crest of a low ridge running north-northeast to south-southwest. A 1968 description recorded a subrectangular area defined by a stone spread with traces of a house site inside. The site is no longer visible at ground level in reclaimed pasture, while Rath lies about 190m to the north-northeast.
