What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cleenraugh, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies the crest of an east-west spur and contains a subcircular grass-covered area measuring 27.5 metres north-south and 24.5 metres east-west. An inner earthen bank surrounds this space, reduces to a scarp on the northwest and north, and connects through a central fosse to an outer earthen bank that continues around the northwest, east and west. The entrance cuts through both banks at the east.
