Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Moyglass (ballintober North By., Ballygarden Ed), County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a low-lying position on a gentle south-facing slope and measures about thirty-seven metres across. An overgrown earthen bank and outer fosse define the circle, while a southeastern extension has become a pond. Two probably modern entrances appear at the west-northwest and north-northwest.
