Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Liswilliam, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a gentle south-west-facing slope as a circular grass-covered area measuring 52.4 metres north-west to south-east and 49.5 metres north-east to south-west. A flat-topped earthen bank and overgrown rounded fosse define the boundary, while a four-metre-wide entrance and causeway appear at the south-west. A field wall truncates the outer edge of the fosse at the west, and a man-made underground passage lies south-west of the centre.
