What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Lisnahoon, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a rise in an undulating landscape and contains a circular grass-covered area about fifty-one metres across. A shallow fosse defines the boundary, remains widest at the south-east, and leads into an interior now holding cattle sheds.
