What is recorded here
Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Corry (roscommon By.), County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a circular shelf on a southeast-facing slope, measuring roughly thirty metres across. An overgrown earthen bank and shallow fosse define most of the perimeter, although a field bank now circumscribes the south and west edges. No visible entrance remains.

H 1.2m) and fosse (Wth of base 2.5-3m; D 0.4-0.6m) S-W-N, but the perimeter is reduced to a scarp (H 0.8-1.15m) elsewhere.
