• CO151-040 Promontory fort - coastal
  Description

  Sub-rectangular area projecting S into Atlantic; connected to mainland by narrow neck with v-shaped profile. Excavation by O'Kelly (1952, 35-54) showed 'promontory was first converted into a fort by the cutting of a deep, wide fosse accross the narrow neck'. This fosse was re-cut in late medieval times when the headland was re-fortified (CO153-053---). The excavation produced no evidence of occupation on promontory contemporary with earliest phase of fortification. Site now partially overgrown and subject to erosion.
