The term earthwork covers a broad range of man-made features, from the raised banks of enclosures and field boundaries to the more substantial remains of ringforts, barrows, or ceremonial monuments. Without knowing exactly which kind this is, the site occupies an intriguing middle ground, recorded and mapped, yet largely undescribed.

Leamaneigh More lies in the Burren fringe country of Clare, a region where the archaeology runs unusually dense, and where earthworks of many periods survive in the thin soils. The townland name itself echoes the Irish "Léim an Fhia", sometimes translated as the leap of the deer, and it shares its landscape with Leamaneh Castle, the well-known tower house and later manor associated with the O'Brien family and, most memorably, with Máire Rua O'Brien, the seventeenth-century figure around whom considerable local legend has gathered. Whether this earthwork has any connection to that wider complex of settlement and land use in the area is not currently documented in any publicly available form. It is a monument that has been identified and classified, but whose story, for now, remains unwritten in any accessible source.
