What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Lisdrumneill, County Roscommon, Ireland. It sits on a gentle north-facing slope where an eighteen-metre arc of earthen bank still marks the west and southwest edge. The structure appeared as a complete thirty-metre circle on the 1837 map but reduced to a fragment by 1914. A nearby cave marked on both maps may have been a hidden underground passage, though no physical trace remains visible at ground level.

Marked as a circular embanked feature (ext. diam. c. 30m) on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and as a fragment of an arc on the 1914 ed. Situated on a gentle N-facing slope. An arc (C 18m) of an earthen bank (Wth 3.8m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.4m) survives SW-W. The 'Cave' marked on the 1837 and 1914 eds. of the OS 6-inch map may have been a Man-made underground passage (RO014-048002-), which is not visible at ground level and of which there is no record.
