What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Tullynahearka, County Roscommon, Ireland. It sits on a low east-west ridge as a subcircular grass-covered area measuring forty point five by thirty six point five metres. A scarp zero point three to one point one metre high defines the perimeter, though quarrying has damaged the northeast section. A man-made underground passage lies inside the southern boundary.

On top of a low E-W ridge. Described as a circular area (diam. c. 35m E-W) defined by an earthen bank or scarp with a wide flat-bottomed fosse (Gannon 1972). It is now visible as a subcircular grass-covered area (dims 40.5m E-W; 36.5m N-S) defined by a scarp (H 0.3-1.1m) which is quarried at NE. Man-made underground passage (RO017-073002-) is inside the perimeter at S. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
