What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Carrowmoney, County Roscommon, Ireland. The 1837 Ordnance Survey map marked it as an embanked enclosure cut by a northeast-southwest road near the northwest perimeter. Fragments of grass-covered earthen banks and an outer fosse survive on both sides of that road towards the top of a southeast-facing slope.
