Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Corroy (athlone North By.), County Roscommon, Ireland. The 1837 edition of the Ordnance Survey 6-inch map marked the oval embanked enclosure, measuring about forty metres north-south and thirty metres east-west, on a slight east-facing slope. The site is no longer visible at ground level because reclaimed pasture covers the earthworks. Another rath sits about one hundred and eighty metres to the southeast.
