What is recorded here
Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Ballymullavill, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a prominent rise overlooking lower ground to the southeast. A circular overgrown area measures 29.6 metres across and contains a grass-covered stone spread with some facing-stones visible. An east-west field wall now overlays the northern perimeter, obscuring much of the original structure.
