What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Carrigeens,meehaun, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a subcircular grass-covered area measuring 48.3 metres WNW-ESE and 42.3 metres NNE-SSW within an undulating landscape. A scrub-covered earthen bank defines the perimeter, incorporates into a field bank surmounted by a wall along the south, west and north-northeast, and shows slight traces of an outer fosse to the north-northeast and east-southeast. The west and north perimeter forms the townland boundary with Carigeens, while the possible entrance at the south-southeast may be modern.
