What is recorded here
Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Boghtaduff, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a subcircular grass-covered area on a south-facing knoll, measuring 26.3 metres northeast-southwest and 21 metres northwest-southeast. A grass-covered stone spread defines the perimeter, though no visible entrance remains because the northeast and east-southeast sections were quarried. The removed material and field boulders now scatter the interior and edge of the enclosure.
