What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Moyglass (ballintober North By., Ballygarden Ed), County Roscommon, Ireland. It appears as a circular embanked enclosure about thirty metres across on the 1837 and 1914 Ordnance Survey maps, sitting on the crest of a low east-west ridge. Gannon described it as a rath defined by an earthen bank and outer fosse, although it is no longer visible at ground level in reclaimed pasture. Another rath lies thirty-five metres south, while an earthwork stands one hundred and forty metres north.
