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.

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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
