The National Monuments Service's description
Located at the bottom of the steep N-facing slope of Bellewstown Hill. An area of about 4 ha (c. 10 acres) with earthwork banks is visible on Google Earth (05/10/2009; 28/01/2017; 15/02/2019). The fields appear to be irregular in shape (dims c. 70m x c. 60m) and may be illusory, but a linear feature extends ESE from the enclosure (ME027-129----) (L c. 700m) and its E end would connect with the W end of a WSW-ENE farm-lane that is depicted on the 1838 and 1908 editions of the OS 6-inch map.
