Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cloonslanor, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a gentle south-facing slope as a circular overgrown area measuring 46 metres north-south and 42 metres east-west. An earthen bank and outer fosse define the boundary, though field banks now incorporate part of the structure and a drain has re-cut the fosse.
