What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Drumalough, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies the crest of an east-west ridge as a circular garden measuring roughly twenty-four metres across. An earthen bank surrounds the space, though quarrying removed part of the western perimeter and a field bank now incorporates the eastern edge. No entrance or ditch remains visible.
