What is recorded here
Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Corracoggil North, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a gentle east-facing slope as a subcircular grass and rush-covered area measuring 25.9 metres north-south and 22.9 metres east-west. An overgrown earthen bank two to 2.2 metres wide surrounds the south and northwest, while a lower scarp borders the remaining edge. Archaeological testing west and northwest in 2004 found no related material.
