What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Kiltultoge, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a subcircular grass-covered area on the north-west-facing crest of a slope, measuring 46.5 metres across and 40.8 metres from north to south. A rounded fosse runs along the north-west, east and south-east sides, while a scarp defines the remaining perimeter. Slight traces of an inner bank appear on the east and south-east, but no original entrance remains identifiable.
