What is recorded here
Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Bohalas, County Roscommon, Ireland. The 1837 Ordnance Survey map marked a circular embanked enclosure about thirty-five metres across with a cave, but the 1915 edition showed only the cave. The site sits on a slight knoll in pasture where no archaeological feature remains visible at ground level.
