What is recorded here
Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Corroy (athlone North By.), County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a gentle east-facing slope as a subcircular overgrown area measuring forty-one point five metres northeast-southwest and thirty-six point six metres northwest-southeast. An overgrown earthen bank, four point one to five point eight metres wide, defines the perimeter, though it is incorporated into a field bank on the south-northwest and reduced to a scarp on the east-southeast. A narrow outer fosse runs north-northeast, while no identifiable original entrance remains visible.
