What is recorded here
Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Kiltrustan, County Roscommon, Ireland. It appears only on the 1837 Ordnance Survey map as a circular embanked enclosure about twenty-five metres across, situated just off the crest of the NE-facing slope of Mullaghcreigha Hill. Gannon described it in 1972 as a circular area defined by a defaced earthen bank, but it is no longer visible at ground level in pasture.
