What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Lodge, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a circular grass-covered area twenty-three metres across, just off the crest at the northeast of a small northeast-southwest ridge. A scarp rises between ten centimetres and seventy centimetres along the southeast, south and northwest edges, while a field bank with a hedge defines the remaining boundary. No visible fosse or entrance breaks the perimeter.
