What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is an enclosure in Ballyglass Upper, County Roscommon, Ireland. It appears as a circular grass-covered area twenty metres across with a shallow fosse, sitting on the north-facing crest of a hill near Fort George House. Other enclosures stand within one hundred and fifty metres to the west and northeast.

Marked as a small circular and embanked wooded feature (diam. c. 20m) on the 1837 and 1928 eds of the OS 6-inch map, and situated at the N-facing crest of a hill and c. 150m SW of Fort George House. Described as a subcircular area (dims 18.5m N-S; 16m E-W) defined by an earthen bank and fosse (Gannon 1972). It is now visible as a circular grass-covered area (diam. 20m) defined by a slight fosse (Wth c. 3m; D 0.05m). It may have been a tree-ring.
