What is recorded here
Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cuilmore (roscommon By., Ballygarden Ed), County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies an oval grass and scrub-covered area on a slight west-facing slope of a broad low drumlin. An overgrown earthen bank defines the site, though it reduces to a scarp in some sections and a re-cut fosse faced with a stone wall in others. No identifiable original entrance remains visible within the circumscribed field bank.
