What is recorded here
Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Onagh, County Roscommon, Ireland. The 1837 Ordnance Survey map marked a circular embanked enclosure about forty metres across on a rise amid field walls. The site is no longer visible in the pasture, but it was probably a cashel.
