What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Barnacullen, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a low-lying position in an undulating landscape and presents a D-shaped grass-covered area. A straight original side faces west, while a narrow entrance and wider causeway appear at the southeast. An earthen bank, fosse and outer bank define the perimeter, although the outer bank has joined a field boundary along the northeast, south and southwest.

H 1.2-1.6m) separated by a fosse (Wth of top 5-6m; Wth of base 1.5-2.7m; ext. D 0.8-1.6m) from an outer bank (Wth 2-4m; ext. H 0.2-0.6m).
