What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Gillstown, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a gentle south-west-facing slope about 220 metres east of the Scrammoge River. Two earthen banks and a central ditch form a circular area roughly 34 metres across, with a possible hut site at the middle. The earthworks are no longer visible at ground level in the pasture.
