The National Monuments Service's description
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.
