What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cloonyquin (roscommon By.), County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a slight rise in a low-lying position on an undulating landscape. The site appears as a circular platform roughly 32 metres across, bounded by a scarp that reaches 1.6 metres at the south. An earlier description identified a subcircular area with a fosse, outer earthen bank and eastern entrance.
