Located towards the E end of the E-W ridge of Bellewstown. A ring-ditch (int. diam. c. 12m) defined by a single fosse feature and with an opening (Wth c. 5m) at S, is visible on Digital Globe images. It may have a pit at its centre, and it was first reported by Tom Condit. The mound (ME027-029----) and cist (ME027-029001-) were c. 50m to the W.
