Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cammoge, County Roscommon, Ireland. The circular grass-covered area sits on a low east-west ridge and measures about thirty-five metres across. An overgrown earthen bank forms most of the boundary, while a shallow fosse surrounds the southeast and northeast sides.
