What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Corracoggil North, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a circular grass-covered area on the south-facing slope of a broad ridge, bounded by an overgrown earthen bank and an outer fosse. Five entrances cut through the bank at different points, while traces of facing stones remain at the east and west edges. A quarry removed part of the fosse between the north-northwest and east-northeast, leaving a field bank running through the gap.
