Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Lissananny, County Roscommon, Ireland. It appears as a circular embanked enclosure on the 1837 Ordnance Survey map and occupies a gentle south-east-facing slope. The D-shaped grass-covered area measures 32 metres north-south and 20.2 metres east-west, with a scarp and hedge along the north-east to south-south-west side and a curving field wall along the north-north-west to north-east side. The west perimeter has been quarried away to a depth of about 2 metres, and no fosse or original entrance remains visible.
