What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Barnacawley, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a gentle south-facing slope as a subcircular grass-covered area measuring 26.7 metres east-west and 24.2 metres north-south. An earthen bank 1.8 to 2.6 metres wide defines the boundary, though the bank reduces to a 0.5 metre scarp on the southwest and disappears entirely on the northwest and northeast. No entrance or fosse remains visible, and another earthwork stands about 180 metres to the north-northeast.
