What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Laghtcausk, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a subcircular grass-covered area measuring 44.4m WNW-ESE and 39m NNE-SSW on a slight E-facing slope. An earthen bank 3-4m wide with internal and external heights of 0.3-0.6m defines the SE-W-NW perimeter, while the NNE bank reaches 4m width and 0.8m external height. The remaining perimeter appears as a 0.5m scarp, with no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance.
