What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Doughloon, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a gentle south-facing slope where a circular grass area measures roughly forty metres across. An overgrown earthen bank surrounds the centre, while an outer flat-bottomed ditch has widened into a pond on the southeast and west sides. A seven-metre entrance at the west-southwest provides access to the ancient earthworks.
