What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Turlagh (athlone North By.), County Roscommon, Ireland. It appears as a circular grass-covered area about 45 metres across, bounded by a slight broad rise and faint traces of an outer fosse. The perimeter merges into the bottom of a northeast-facing slope, where the earthwork remains visible despite its low height.
