What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cloonearagh, County Roscommon, Ireland. The oval grass-covered area measures 35.7m E-W and 27m N-S on an E-facing slope. An overgrown, flat-topped earthen bank defines the enclosure, and a flat-bottomed fosse runs S-NW as a re-cut drain. A modern entrance and causeway appear at SW, but the original entrance cannot be identified.
