What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Figh, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a circular grass-covered area thirty-eight metres across on the eastern shore of Figh Lough, an amorphous bog lake stretching nine hundred metres north-west to south-east. Overgrown earthen banks and fosses define the perimeter, although quarrying has removed much of the interior and a three-metre causeway survives at the east-north-east edge.

Circular grass-covered area (diam. 38m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 4.7; int. H 0.7m; ext.

H 1.5m) and outer fosse (Wth of base 5.7m; D 0.7m) at E, but the perimeter and much of the interior has been quarried NW-NE and ESE-SW. The causeway (Wth 3m) survives at ENE.
