What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cloonsuck, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a gentle southwest-facing slope and presents a circular grass-covered area measured thirty-point-one metres east-west and about twenty-seven metres north-south. An earthen bank surrounds this space, separates from an outer bank by a shallow fosse, and leaves gaps where the inner and outer banks are missing. A three-metre-wide entrance appears at the west, while a north-south field wall cuts across the monument and another cashel stands two hundred and twenty metres to the east-southeast.
