What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cuilrevagh, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupied the top of the south-facing slope of Greywood Hill as a circular grass-covered area measuring forty point five metres across. A flat-topped earthen bank and outer fosse defined the structure until quarrying removed the monument after nineteen ninety-six.
