Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Grange (athlone South By.), County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies an undulating low-lying landscape as a circular grass-covered platform measuring 28 metres from north-west to south-east. A scarp rising 0.3 to 0.7 metres defines the edge, though the west-northwest to east-southeast perimeter is now quarried. No visible fosse or original entrance remains.
