What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Tawlaght (boyle By., Killukin Ed), County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies the bottom of a northwest-facing slope beside a stream running southwest to northeast. A gapped earthen bank surrounds a circular grass area, although a laneway now cuts the southern part and spoil obscures some of the earthwork.

At the bottom of a NW-facing slope with a SW-NE stream or drain immediately to the N. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 36.5 N-S; 35m E-W) defined by a gapped earthen bank (at S: Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.45m; ext. H 0.8m; at N: Wth 4.2m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H. 1.6m). A fosse (Gannon 1972) cannot be seen now, and the site is cut by an E-W laneway S of the centre and partly obscured with spoil. Rath (RO011-013----) is c. 60m to the NE, but archaeological testing (00E0180) c. 30m to the NW failed to produce any archaeological material (Lennon 2002b).
