What is recorded here
Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Sheerevagh, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a low east-west ridge and contains a circular grass-covered area about 24 metres across. An earthen bank 3 metres wide once surrounded the site, although quarrying removed parts on the northeast and southeast where an east-west lane now crosses the perimeter. No ditch or entrance remains visible.
