What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cuilleen (moycarn By.), County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies the crest of a slight east-west ridge as a D-shaped grass and scrub-covered area measuring 32 metres north-south and about 30 metres east-west. A 0.2-metre scarp bounds the northwest, north and southeast edges, while an eroded 4-metre-wide earthen bank runs 19 metres along the southeast and southwest. Spoil on the straight western side masks the original bank, leaving no visible fosse or identifiable entrance.
