What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Farnbeg,farnmore, County Roscommon, Ireland. It appears as a circular embanked enclosure about sixty metres across on the 1837 and 1915 Ordnance Survey maps, cut by a field bank and townland boundary. Gannon recorded fragments of an earthen bank and outer fosse at the northeast and southwest in 1972, but these features are no longer visible at ground level in the pasture.
