What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cregga, County Roscommon, Ireland. It appeared as an oval embanked enclosure on the 1837 OS map and a truncated D-shaped feature on the 1914 edition. The slight bank arc on the steep slope is no longer visible in improved pasture, though another rath sits one hundred metres to the east-southeast.

Marked as an oval embanked enclosure (ext. dims c. 50m N-S; c. 40m E-W) on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and as a D-shaped feature (dim. c. 30m NW-SE) truncated by a NW-SE field bank at SW on the 1914 ed. Situated on a steep NW-facing slope and described as a slight arc of a bank (Gannon 1972) which is no longer visible in improved pasture. It was probably a rath.
