What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cootehall, County Roscommon, Ireland. It appears on the 1837 and 1914 Ordnance Survey maps as a circular embanked enclosure about 35 metres across, sitting towards the top of the west-facing slope of a small drumlin. A grass-covered area 23 metres wide lies inside a low scarp that merges into the slope, while modern farm buildings to the west and north respect its line. Another rath sits about 60 metres to the east-northeast.
