What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cloonfinlough, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a gentle E-facing slope at the summit of a broad hill, forming a subcircular grass-covered area defined by an earthen bank and hedge. An outer fosse runs NNW-SE beside the perimeter, while a NE-SW road bank straightens the NW edge and a modern entrance opens at the SW. Two other raths sit within 210m to the E and S.
