What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Turlaghmore, County Roscommon, Ireland. It appears only on the 1837 Ordnance Survey map as a circular embanked enclosure about forty metres across at the east edge of a slight plateau. The surviving D-shaped grass area measures twenty-eight metres north-south and seven metres east-west, with a thirty-centimetre scarp on its east side. A north-south field wall cuts through its west edge, hiding any remaining structure beyond that line.

Marked only on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 40m), and situated at the E edge of a slight plateau in an undulating landscape. This is a D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 28m N-S; 7m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.3m) NE-SE but the monument is truncated by a N-S field wall at W and does not survive visibly W of it. The possible rath (RO051-029----) is c. 130m to the SSW. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
