What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Moyglass (ballintober North By., Ballygarden Ed), County Roscommon, Ireland. The subcircular site sits on a low east-west drumlin ridge and measures about 36 metres east-west and 31.2 metres north-south. An earthen bank and outer fosse form most of the circle, but a field wall cuts through the eastern edge and a field bank with an outer drain takes the place of the original earthworks on the southeast. A western entrance is about 1.8 metres wide, and another rath lies roughly 135 metres to the east.
