What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Lecarrow (frenchpark By., Aughrim West Ed), County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a level, low-lying landscape as a subcircular grass-covered area measuring 34.8 metres north-south and 29.3 metres east-west. A three-metre-wide earthen bank with scrub surrounds the centre, rising 0.4 metres internally and 1 to 1.3 metres externally before reducing to a 0.9-metre scarp along the northwest and east. An outer fosse with a two-metre base and 0.2-metre depth cuts through the southeast, west and northeast, while a band of lush vegetation follows its line elsewhere.
