What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Lisgillalea, County Roscommon, Ireland. It appears as a circular embanked enclosure with an external diameter of about 35 metres only on the 1837 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map. The feature sits on a gentle southwest-facing slope and remains visible as a cropmark of a bank on vertical aerial photographs, although it is no longer distinguishable at ground level in the pasture. Another rath lies roughly 70 metres to the north.
