Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Skrine, County Roscommon, Ireland. It sits towards the bottom of a gentle south-facing slope as a circular overgrown area about thirty-five metres across. An earth and stone bank surrounds the centre, separated by a ditch from a smaller outer bank, with an entrance at the east-north-east. Field walls now cut through the perimeter and interior.
