• DG074-005 Promontory fort - inland
  Description

  An almost semicircular area defined on its NE edge by a cliff face, running NW-SE, and elsewhere by 3 curving collapsed stone wall. A distance of 100m of cliff edge, which is irregular and steep but not sheer, is enclosed. The radius of the semicircle is 50m.

The site is located strategically on a prominent hill overlooking the valley of the Owenea river to the S. It has a good view of a vast plain to the W but is overlooked by higher ground to the E.
