What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Knockcroghery, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies the crest of a north-south ridge and contains a circular grass-covered area bounded by a wide earthen bank. A smaller house site attaches to the inner northern edge, while quarrying has altered the southwest interior.

At the crest of the N-facing slope of a N-S ridge. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 37.5m ENE-WSW; 36.7m NNW-SSE) defined by an earthen bank with some bushes (Wth 5.3-5.5m; int. H c. 1m; ext. H c. 2m). A fosse that was visible at S (Gannon 1972) is now back-filled, and there is no recognisable entrance. A house site (RO042-061002-) (ext. dims 6.75m N-S; 6m E-W) defined by a low bank is attached to the inside of the perimeter at N, and there has been some quarrying inside the perimeter at SW.
