What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cornashinnagh, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a gentle south-facing slope near the east end of a west-northwest to east-southeast ridge. A circular grass-covered area measures forty-four metres east-west and forty-point-eight metres north-south, bounded partly by a low scarp and short earthen banks at the northwest and northeast. Field walls now cut through the western and northern perimeters, while north-east to south-west lazy-beds remain visible inside.

On a gentle S-facing slope towards the E end of a WNW-ESE ridge. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 44m E-W; 40.8m N-S) defined by a scarp (H 0.2-0.4m) and short lengths of earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.55m) on the perimeter at NW and NE. There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance.
