What is recorded here
Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cleaheen, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies the top of a low drumlin as a circular grass-covered area measuring twenty-two metres east-west and twenty-one metres north-south. An overgrown earthen bank three-point-three to four metres wide defines the perimeter, while a drain skirts the north-west and north edge because no visible entrance remains.
