What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Scor More, County Roscommon, Ireland. A circular grass-covered area forty-point-five metres across sits on a low rise in a low-lying landscape. An earthen bank defines the NNW, E, and WSW edges, while a reduced scarp and a shallow fosse mark the remaining perimeter. A band of lush vegetation traces the fosse line from W to NE, and another rath lies about ninety metres to the N.
