What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Flaskagh Beg, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a rise at the head of a slight west-east valley and presents a circular grass-covered platform measuring twenty-nine metres north-south and twenty-seven metres east-west. Steep scarps reach 2.6m high at the south, where scattered stones rest, while grass-covered quarries have removed the eastern and southern perimeter.
