What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Kilgarve (frenchpark By.), County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a gentle north-facing slope where an overgrown earthen bank defines a subcircular grass and rush-covered area. The bank joins a field bank on the southwest, north and southeast, while an outer drain cuts through part of the eastern and southern edge. No entrance is visible, and coniferous forest now surrounds the unplanted site.

On a gentle N-facing slope of a low hill. Subcircular grass and rush-covered area (dims 33m E-W; 27.2m N-S) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 2-3.3m; int. H 0.2-0.3m; ext. H 0.6-1.3m), which is incorporated into a field bank SW-N-SE. An outer fosse (Wth of base 2.1m; D 0.8m) ESE-SSW is re-cut as a drain N-ESE, but absent elsewhere. There is no visible entrance. It remains unplanted but increasingly overgrown in a coniferous forest (OSAP). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
