What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Dergraw, County Roscommon, Ireland. It stands on a drumlin as a D-shaped overgrown area measuring 31 metres northwest-southeast and 26 metres northeast-southwest. An earthen bank forms the northern edge while a scarp defines the rest, surrounded by an outer fosse on the west, north and east. A separate rath attaches to the southeast but remains divided by a field bank and drain.
