What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Corbaun, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a low rise in an undulating landscape and preserves a subcircular grass-covered area bounded partly by earthen banks, a scarp, an outer fosse and a possible western entrance. The northern perimeter has been quarried away, breaking the continuous outline that remains visible elsewhere.
