What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Luggs, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a gentle east-facing slope beneath a steep northeast descent and contains a circular scrub-covered area measuring roughly thirty-five to thirty-six metres across. An overgrown earthen bank surrounds the centre, though it reduces to a lower scarp on the northeast side, while a separate outer ditch circles the exterior with noticeably shallower depth in the same direction. Two distinct openings break the boundary at the north and south ends.

On a gentle E-facing slope at the bottom of a steep NE-facing slope. Circular scrub and rush-covered area (diam. 36.2m N-S; 35m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 3.6-4.3m; int. H 0.2-1m; ext. H 1.1-1.6m), which is reduced to a scarp (H 1.3m) NE-SSE, and an outer fosse (Wth of top 4-5.2m; Wth of base 2.1-2.8m; D 1.1-1.7m), which is much reduced (D 0.5m) NE-SSE. There is an entrance (Wth 2m) at S and a widened entrance (Wth 3m) at N. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
