What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Rathfuadagh, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a slight rise in an undulating landscape as an oval grass-covered area measuring 65.6 metres north-north-east to south-south-west and 51.7 metres west-north-west to east-south-east. An earthen bank defines the perimeter, while a flat-bottomed fosse survives along the south to west-south-west edge. A west-north-west to east-south-east relict field bank bisects the site, though the original entrance cannot be recognised.
