What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ratra, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a level, low-lying landscape as a circular grass-covered area defined by an earthen bank, fosse and outer bank. The outer bank joins a north-south field bank on the west and disappears toward the north, while an entrance and causeway remain visible in the eastern and inner structures.
