What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Creevy, County Roscommon, Ireland. A 35-metre arc of its overgrown earthen bank still stands on the south-facing ridge, though a field bank cuts through the southern part and hides the rest from view.

Marked as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 55m) on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and as a fragment of a bank NW-E on the 1914 ed. Situated on a gentle S-facing slope towards the E end of a broad WNW-ESE ridge. An arc (C 35m) of an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 2.7m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.1m) survives NNW-ENE. It is truncated at S by a WNW-ESE field bank at S (dim. c. 5m N-S), and nothing is visible at ground level S of this feature. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
