What is recorded here
Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Toberpatrick, County Roscommon, Ireland. It sits on the crest of the northwest end of a low northwest-southeast drumlin ridge but remains hidden inside reclaimed pasture. The 1837 Ordnance Survey map drew a circular wooded boundary fifty-five to sixty metres across, while the 1914 version showed a D-shaped area sixty metres east-west and forty metres north-south.
Marked as a circular embanked and wooded enclosure (ext. diam. c. 55-60m) on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and as D-shaped (dims c. 60m E-W; c. 40m N-S) on the 1914 ed. Situated on the crest of the NW end of a low NW-SE drumlin ridge, it is not visible at ground level in reclaimed pasture.
