What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ballinderry, County Roscommon, Ireland. The circular grass-covered area sits on the south-facing slope of a slight east-west ridge, bounded by an earthen bank, hedge and outer fosse. A farm track crosses the southwest to northwest section where the earthworks narrow, while the main entrance remains at the southeast. Another rath lies about fifty metres to the north-northeast.
