What is recorded here
Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cloonslanor, County Roscommon, Ireland. The 1837 Ordnance Survey map marked a circular embanked enclosure about thirty metres across, while the 1915 edition showed only a bank fragment. Private house gardens now occupy the gentle north-facing slope where no feature remains visible at ground level.
