Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Farranagalliagh West, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a gentle west-facing slope where an overgrown earthen bank and upright stones surround a circular grass-covered area. Faint traces of an outer fosse appear at the northeast, while another rath and cashel remain nearby on the landscape.
