What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Frenchpark Demesne, County Roscommon, Ireland. The circular grass-covered area measures about 41m across and contains beech trees and scrub. An earthen bank forms the south-west perimeter while a scarp defines the rest of the edge. A curved depression inside the western boundary could be a collapsed underground passage or a quarry, and the northern perimeter was disturbed when an ice-house was built.
