What is recorded here
Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Curryroe, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a rise in an undulating landscape as a circular grass and scrub-covered area measuring 31.5m ENE-WSW and 29.7m NNW-SSE. An overgrown stone spread defines the perimeter, with a drystone wall overlain on the SE-W section. Clearance cairns mark the interior while a relict field wall runs E from the edge.
