What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cloonearagh, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a gentle west-facing slope as a subcircular grass and rush-covered area measuring 58.6 metres north-south and 51.8 metres east-west. A flat-topped earthen bank defines the perimeter, incorporating a field bank and hedge on the east-southwest while reducing to a low scarp elsewhere. A flat-bottomed fosse surrounds the northwest, east and southwest sections, leaving a four-metre-wide entrance at the east-northeast without a causeway.
