What is recorded here
Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Curry (roscommon By., Elia Ed), County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies the crest of a low north-west to south-east drumlin ridge as an oval area measuring twenty-eight metres north-south and twenty-two and a half metres east-west. The site joined another rath immediately to the east, though only a short four-metre arc of its earthen bank and outer fosse now survives in reclaimed pasture at the north-east edge.
