What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Fearagh (mahon), County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a subcircular grass-covered area measuring 50m north-south and 44m east-west on the gentle south-facing slope of a drumlin. An overgrown earthen bank defines the north-east to south-east edge, while a later field wall overlays the north-west to north-north-east section. A complete outer fosse surrounds the structure, extending into a pond toward the south-west without a visible entrance.

Just off the crest on the gentle S-facing slope of a drumlin. Subcircular grass-covered area (dims 50m N-S; 44m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (at E: Wth 3.3m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.9m) NNE-SE, which is reduced to an overgrown scarp (H 1m) elsewhere and overlain by a later field wall NW-NNE. There is a complete outer fosse (Wth of top 4.6m; Wth of base 1.5m; D 0.3-0.5m), which has been extended into a pond (Wth 5.5m) S-WNW, but there is no visible entrance. Standing stone (RO017-202----) is c. 100m to the NW, and rath (RO017-102----) is c. 220m to the SE. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
