What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Carrigeen (boyle By.), County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies the top of a small drumlin and forms a circular grass and rush-covered area about twenty-seven and a half metres across. An overgrown earthen bank and outer fosse define the boundary, while field banks circumscribe the southern and western sections. No visible entrance breaks the continuous earthwork.
