What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ishlaun, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a D-shaped grass-covered area at the crest of a south-west-facing slope on a north-west to south-east ridge. An overgrown earthen bank forms an arc with gaps at the north and north-east, while field walls and a bank truncate the remaining perimeter. A man-made underground passage lies inside the bank at the north.
