What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Derraun, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a circular grass and scrub-covered area thirty-one to thirty-one-point-five metres across on the southeast-facing slope of a low east-west drumlin ridge. An eroded earthen bank and shallow scarp define most of the perimeter, while a northeast-southwest field bank slightly truncates the southeast edge. Another rath lies approximately two hundred and ten metres to the west.
