What is recorded here
Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Carrowbehy, County Roscommon, Ireland. It appeared as a circular embanked enclosure about 35 metres wide on the 1837 Ordnance Survey map and stood on the southeast-facing crest of a low hill. The earthworks are no longer visible at ground level because a grass-covered quarry now occupies the site.
