What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Kilcloghan, County Roscommon, Ireland. It sits on the west-facing slope of a drumlin ridge overlooking Lough Incha, which lies about 150m to the west. The circular grass-covered area measures 32.5m across and is defined by an overgrown earthen bank separated by a fosse from an outer bank that survives only from the southwest to the northwest. No visible entrance remains, and a possible ringfort stands about 80m to the south.
