What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Farnmore, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a circular grass-covered area towards the bottom of an east-facing slope, with a north-south section of the Scramoge River about 180 metres to the east. A flat-topped earthen bank defines the perimeter, though it reduces to a low scarp on the east and south sides where five gaps interrupt the structure.
