What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Drumsillagh (boyle By., Tumna South Ed), County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies the summit of a drumlin and forms a circular grass-covered area 17m across. An earthen bank and scarp define most of the perimeter, although spoil obscures the NE section and a field bank bisects the interior. Two other raths stand within 150m to the NW and NNE.
