What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Rathlena, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a grass-covered hillock in an undulating landscape, measuring 42.3 metres north-south and 38.2 metres east-west. An overgrown flat-bottomed fosse and outer bank define the subcircular platform, while a causeway marks the east-southeast entrance despite debris obscuring the outer bank opening.
