What is recorded here
Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Barrinagh (roscommon By.), County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies the crest of a south-facing slope as a subcircular grass-covered area measuring 26 metres north-south and 23 metres east-west. An earthen bank with scrub and an outer fosse define the boundary, while a two-metre-wide entrance opens at the east. Michael Moore compiled the description on 24 August 2010.
