Description
Listed as ‘Earthwork’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). A small subcircular hachured area is indicated on the 1923 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. On inspection in 2003 this was found to be a slight irregular hollow (D 0.2-0.4m; max. Wth 28m) that had evidently been quarried. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 16 December 2014

- CL046-039 Promontory fort - coastal
Description
Situated in an area of undulating fertile pasture which slopes gently towards the sea. There are good views from the monument and it is itself visible from some distance away. A narrow headland (Wth 10m; L 25m) is cut off on the landward side by a curving earthen bank and fosse. The bank (Wth 3.6m; H 0.8m above the interior) is round-topped. The fosse is clearest at E (Wth 2.2m; D 0.25m). A cattle gap crosses the defences at the W cliff edge. The interior is featureless and rocks jutting out from it suggest that it was once longer that it is now. (Casey 1999, 191, Clare 20) Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 21 September 2016
