What is recorded here
Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Roxborough, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a slight north-facing slope as a D-shaped grass-covered area measuring 32.3 metres north-south and 30.5 metres east-west. A 0.4-metre-high scarp defines the boundary, though hedges now truncate the western and southern edges. No visible fosse or original entrance remains identifiable.
