What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Kilbryan, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a south-facing slope where a circular grass-covered area measures thirty to thirty-one metres across. Deciduous trees grow inside the earthen bank, which ranges from three point seven to eight point two metres wide and stands up to one point nine metres high on the western edge. A flat-bottomed fosse and outer bank surround the main structure, though no original entrance remains visible.

On a S-facing slope. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 30.5-31m) planted with deciduous trees defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.7m at S to 8.2m at N; int. H 0.2m at S to 1.7m at N (upslope); ext. H 1.25m generally to 1.9m at W), and an outer flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of top 5.5m at S to 7m at N; Wth of base 2.6m at S; D 0.2-0.3m) N-NE and E-S. There is an outer bank (Wth 4.4m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.2m at E to 1.4m at S (downslope)) and the inner bank is possibly revetted internally and externally by upright stones, but there is no recognisable original entrance.
