Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Corry (roscommon By.), County Roscommon, Ireland. It appeared as a subcircular embanked enclosure on the 1837 and 1914 Ordnance Survey maps, measured roughly 40 metres north-south and 35 metres east-west, and sat on a low rise in a low-lying landscape. Gannon recorded slight traces of a semicircular bank in 1972, but the site is no longer visible at ground level in reclaimed pasture.
