What is recorded here
Located at the bottom of the steep N-facing slope of Bellewstown Hill. A subcircular grass-covered enclosure (dims c. 40m E-W; c. 35m N-S) defined by what appears to be a large fosse (Wth c. 8-10m) is most clearly visible on Google Earth (05/10/2009; 28/01/2017; 15/02/2019). The field system (ME027-129001-) is immediately to the E. It is also visible on Aerial Premium c. 2013-2019, and the enclosure was first reported by Jean Charles Caillére.
