What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Scregg (athlone North By.), County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies the crest of a west-southwest-facing slope above a narrow north-northwest-south-southeast valley. The circular grass-covered area measures forty-eight metres east-west and forty-six metres north-south. An earthen bank, fosse and partial outer bank define the perimeter, while a two-point-four-metre entrance opens toward the south-southeast.
