What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Dergraw, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a low rise in a low-lying landscape and forms a circular grass-covered area twenty-four point two metres across. An overgrown earthen bank surrounds most of the circle, while a shallow outer ditch and a band of wet ground complete the remaining edge. No entrance is visible on the structure.
