What is recorded here

Embanked enlcosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Drummod, County Roscommon, Ireland. It sits on a drumlin and appears as a circular embanked enclosure on the 1837 and 1914 Ordnance Survey maps. An earthen bank arc still marks part of the 60m circle, but a farm lane and sheds cut through the west side. Archaeological testing to the east and south found no related material.

Marked as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 55-60m) on the 1837 and 1914 eds of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on top of a drumlin. An arc of an earthen bank (at E: Wth 3.7m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.5m) survives incorporated into a field bank and hedge NE-S-SW encompassing a circular area (diam. c. 60m), but the perimeter is truncated by a NW-SE farm lane and sheds at W and cannot be traced elsewhere. Archaeological testing (11E0265) immediately to the E and S failed to produce any related archaeological material (Morahan 2011). See Excavations.ie (2011:527).
