What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Rathnallog, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a broad plateau as a circular grass-covered area measuring thirty point four metres north-south and twenty-eight metres east-west. An earthen bank defines the perimeter, incorporates into a field bank on the southeast and west-southwest, and borders a flat-bottomed fosse that was re-dug as a drain. A narrow entrance opens at the north-northwest while another field bank extends northeast from the outer edge.
