What is recorded here
Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Commeen (roscommon By.), County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies an oval area on the west-facing slope of a low east-west drumlin ridge, about 180 metres from the north bank of the west-east Owenur River. Gannon (1972) described it as surrounded by an earthen bank and fosse, though it is no longer visible at ground level in reclaimed pasture. Another earthwork lies immediately to the northeast.
