What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Scramoge, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a gentle west-facing slope as a circular scrub-covered area measuring twenty-nine metres north-south and twenty-eight point one metres east-west. A flat-topped earthen bank and overgrown rounded fosse define the boundary, while a rath attached to the southeast and a settlement one hundred and forty metres north-northeast complete the local landscape.

On a gentle W-facing slope. Circular scrub-covered area (diam. 29m N-S; 28.1m E-W) with some deciduous trees defined by a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth of top 1.4-2.8m; Wth of base 4.3-6m; int. H 0.5-1.2m; ext. H 1.7-1.9m) and hedge with an overgrown rounded fosse (Wth of top 5.2-7.1m; Wth of base 2.8-3.4m; D 0.7-1.1m). There is no identifiable original entrance.
