What is recorded here

Embnaked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cloonshee, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies the crest of a gentle east-facing slope on a low east-west drumlin ridge, approximately 130 meters from the north shore of Lough O' Donra. The circular grass-covered area measures 23 meters east-west and 21 meters north-south, bounded by an overgrown earthen bank with facing stones and an outer fosse. A two-meter entrance and three-meter causeway mark the east side, where a small drystone animal pen also abuts the perimeter.
