What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ballylion, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a gentle north-facing slope as a circular grass-covered area measuring 42.3 metres east-west and 40.4 metres north-south. A slight earthen bank defines the perimeter, though a north-south field bank now bisects the site and a large quarry cuts into the southwest interior.
