Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Lackagh, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a knoll with a circular grass and rush-covered area measuring 33 metres east-west and 31 metres north-south. An overgrown earthen bank defines the perimeter, incorporates into a field bank north-northwest to east, and shows traces of a fosse as a band of rushes at east-southeast. A 3.5-metre entrance appears at south-southeast, while a drain cuts outside the bank from south to northwest-northwest.
