What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Lismaha, County Roscommon, Ireland. It sits on a gentle south-west-facing slope of a west-northwest to east-southeast ridge, with a circular grass-covered area defined by an earthen bank and an outer fosse to the south-southwest. A south entrance provides access, while a north-south field bank slightly truncates the western perimeter. The feature appears as a circular embanked enclosure on the 1837 Ordnance Survey six-inch map.
