What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Kilcloghan, County Roscommon, Ireland. Marked as a circular embanked enclosure on the 1837 map and an oval hachured enclosure on the 1914 map, it sits on the SW-facing slope of an E-W drumlin ridge. The site is no longer visible at ground level because the land has become reclaimed pasture. Another rath lies about 80m to the north.
