What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Coolteige, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a gentle NE-facing slope where a low earthen bank and faint outer fosse once marked a circular area roughly twenty-four metres across. Field walls and a house site later overlain the perimeter, but the monument is no longer visible at ground level in pasture.
