What is recorded here
Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Corrabaun, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a subcircular area on a slight east-west ridge in a low-lying landscape. An overgrown earthen bank and outer fosse define most of the perimeter, while a scarp marks the remaining edge. A one-metre entrance opens at the southeast, and a north-south road now crosses the interior east of the centre.
