What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Chanterland OR Windmillpark, County Roscommon, Ireland. It appears as a D-shaped grass-covered area measuring 27.5 metres north-south and 13 metres east-west, bounded by a broad earthen bank on the south and north. A farm track cuts through the western edge, while the eastern side relies on a field bank rather than a distinct rampart. No entrance or ditch remains visible, and archaeological testing nearby found no related material.

Situated towards the SE end of a NW-SE spur. D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 27.5m N-S; 13m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 6.5-7.5m; H 0.4m) N-S, while a N-E-S farm track truncates the site at W. There is no visible fosse or entrance.
