What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Bellacagher, County Roscommon, Ireland. Gannon described its subrectangular shape, earth and stone bank, wide rounded fosse and outer bank with an entrance causeway at SSW in 1972. The site was removed during 1995 and is no longer visible at ground level in the pasture, though satellite images still show a subcircular grass-covered area defined by a wide fosse.
