What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Carrowclogher, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupied a gentle south-facing slope of a drumlin ridge and presented a subcircular earthen bank, outer fosse, southern bank traces and an eastern entrance with a causeway. The earthworks disappeared after the 1970s, leaving only a shallow grass-covered depression where the structure once stood.
