What is recorded here
Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cloonsreane, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a gentle east-facing slope where a subcircular grass-covered area measures forty metres north-south and thirty-six metres east-west. An earthen bank rises one point one metres at the north while a slight scarp marks the remaining edge. The 1837 Ordnance Survey map identified the circular feature and its trees.
Marked as a circular feature with some trees (diam. c. 45m) on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a gentle E-facing slope. Subcircular grass-covered area (dims 40m N-S; 36m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 0.8m; H 1.1m) at N (C 12m) and a slight scarp (H 0.2-0.3m) elsewhere.
