What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cloonshee, County Roscommon, Ireland. It sits at the crest of an east-facing drumlin slope and preserves a circular grass area bounded partly by an earthen bank and partly by a band of parched vegetation. Two other raths remain within a few hundred metres, marking a small cluster of ancient earthworks in the same landscape.
