What is recorded here

Indicated is a subcircular hillock in County Clare pasture, mapping back to 1842 as a ringfort before becoming a boundary wall between Bunnanagat North and Leana. Its double-faced stone edge still rises two to five metres above the grass, marking where human hands shaped the land long before modern fences. The enclosure may have housed families, stored grain or simply claimed space under open sky. Whatever it held, the wall remains, dividing townlands and time alike.
In improved undulating pasture. Hachured as a ringfort on the first edition (1842) of the OS 6-inch map, and with its perimeter indicated on both the OS 25-inch plan (1897) and the Cassini edition (1920) of the OS 6-inch map. This enclosure survives as a subcircular hillock (55m E-W; 48m N-S; H c. 2-5m) defined by a wide, high, double-faced wall N-E-S, which acts as the boundary wall separating Bunnanagat North and Leana townlands, and with the former enclosure line visible as a change in vegetation colour in cleared pastureland S-W-N.
