What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Cashel (castlereagh By., Ballinlough Ed), County Roscommon, Ireland. The 1837 Ordnance Survey map shows an embanked enclosure about sixty metres across, while the 1928 map draws a subcircular field with five radiating walls. The site sat on a high, level landscape until farmers removed it during the 1960s. Reclaimed pasture now covers the place, leaving no visible trace at ground level.

Marked on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as an embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 60m) and on the 1928 ed. as a subcircular field (dims. c. 40m N-S; c. 35m E-W) with 5 field walls radiating off it. Situated on a high, level landscape, it was removed in the 1960s (Gannon 1972) and is not now visible at ground level in reclaimed pasture.
