What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Corry (roscommon By.), County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a low rise about 140m from the east shore of Lough Corry, forming a circular overgrown area nearly 38m across. A scarp 0.4 to 1m high defines the edge, while an outer fosse 3m wide at its base and 0.2 to 0.4m deep cuts across the northeast, south and northwest. No entrance is visible, although a field bank and drain now cross the northeast perimeter.
