What is recorded here
Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Carrowduff AND Garbally, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a rise in an undulating landscape where a field wall at north truncates the circular area. A curved stone fragment extends east from the main wall base, while a possible cashel sits one hundred and seventy metres to the northeast.
On a rise in an undulating landscape. Described as a circular area (int. diam. 25m) defined by the base of a stone wall (Gannon 1972), but truncated by a field wall at N. Only an arc of a wall base (Wth 1.25-1.35m) survives SSE-WSW in a grass-covered area. A curved fragment of wall runs E from the cashel wall at SSE (L 6.5m). The possible cashel (RO051-056----) is c. 170m to the NE.
