What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Carrowgarve (frenchpark By.), County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies the spine of a broad SE-NW spur as a D-shaped grass and scrub-covered area measuring 45m north-south and 38m east-west. An overgrown earthen bank 3-4m wide and an outer fosse 2.2-2.6m across at the base define most of the perimeter, although an E-W field bank truncates the monument and reduces the northern edge to a 0.2m scarp. No entrance remains visible.
