What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cleaheen, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a D-shaped grass-covered area on a northeast-southwest ridge, measuring roughly 28 metres by 25 metres within reclaimed pasture. A low scarp defines its southwest, north and southeast edges, while an east-northeast-west-southwest field bank truncates the southern boundary. No visible fosse or entrance remains, and another rath sits 200 metres to the south-southwest.
