What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Mullymucks, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies the top of a gentle north-facing hill slope and contains a circular grass area about sixty metres wide. An overgrown earthen bank and rounded fosse surround the centre, while a field wall incorporates part of the bank on the east and southeast. A narrow entrance appears at the east southeast, and a barrow lies one hundred and twenty metres to the south southwest.

Towards the top of the gentle N-facing slope of a hill. Circular grass-covered area (diam. c. 60m) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 1.45-2.7m; int. H 0.1-0.3m; ext. H 0.9-1.75m), and a rounded fosse (Wth of top 4.5-5m; Wth of base 1.8-3m; D 0.7-0.9m) SE-NW. The bank is incorporated into a field wall E-SE which continues on the outer edge of the fosse SE-SSW.
