Hachured, Bells Hill is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Knockdrin (corkaree By.), County Westmeath, Ireland. The site occupies a small hillock in undulating grassland with restricted views and consists of a raised circular area approximately 50 metres north-south and 48 metres east-west. This enclosure is defined by a poorly preserved earth and stone bank 0.2 metres high, which has been levelled at the northeast and is intersected at the west by a field fence running north-south and a drain. The outline of the levelled monument is clearly visible on a Digital Globe aerial photograph taken in November 2011.
