Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Carrownagullagh, County Roscommon, Ireland. The D-shaped grass and rush-covered area sits on a level, low-lying landscape and measures 28.5m north-south by 20.3m east-west. An overgrown earthen bank defines the perimeter, while an outer fosse cuts into the ground beside it. A field bank and drain truncate the southwest section, and no original entrance remains identifiable.
