What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ballincurry, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a steep south-facing slope as a circular grass-covered area measuring forty-one metres north-south and about forty metres east-west. An earthen bank four to five point three metres wide surrounds the centre, rising fifty-five to sixty-five centimetres internally and fifteen to sixty-five centimetres externally. Entrances appear at the north-northwest and south-southeast, while no visible fosse exists beside the structure.
