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 in a flat landscape, forming a circular grass-covered area nearly thirty metres across. A scarp rises from twenty-five centimetres at the southwest to one metre twenty at the east, while an outer fosse runs along the northeast. Field banks and hedges now incorporate parts of the perimeter, and no entrance remains visible.
