What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Knocknacarrow, County Roscommon, Ireland. It measures about 35 metres across, sits on an east-facing slope beside the Boyle River, and appears only on the 1837 Ordnance Survey map rather than in the pasture below.
Marked as a circular embanked enclosure (diam. c. 35m) only on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on an E-facing slope on the W bank of the N-S Boyle River with much of the perimeter on the river's edge. It is not visible at ground level in pasture. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
