What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Mullymucks, County Roscommon, Ireland. The circular grass-covered platform sits on an east-facing slope with a south-southwest entrance and causeway. A rounded fosse separates the inner area from an outer bank that survives only on the west and northeast sides. Quarrying damaged the northern and eastern edges of the platform.
