What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Dooneen (frenchpark By.), County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a level landscape as a circular grass-covered area thirty-six metres across. A gapped earthen bank surrounds most of the circle, while a wider outer bank survives only to the north and northeast. An enlarged six-metre entrance and causeway mark the east-southeast edge.
