What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Rathfuadagh, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a rise in an undulating landscape and presents a circular grass-covered platform roughly thirty-five metres across. A slight earthen bank and scarp define its edge, while a four-metre ramp provides entrance at the southwest. Archaeological testing nearby failed to produce related material.
