What is recorded here
Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Curry (roscommon By., Elia Ed), County Roscommon, Ireland. It sits on the crest of a low NW-SE drumlin ridge as a circular grass-covered area measuring 33m north-south and 32m east-west. An earthen bank and hedge define the interior, while an outer fosse serves as a farm track circumscribed by a field bank on the west, north and east. A two-metre-wide entrance opens at the east-north-east without a causeway.
