Recorded monuments

• WA026-038 Promontory fort - coastal
  Description

  Situated on a coastal promontory jutting S. This is a grass-covered L-shaped area of c. 1 ha (dims. c. 80m NE-SW; c. 30m NW-SE) defended at the narrowest point where it is attatched to the mainland at the NE end of the NW side by two eroded banks and fosses. The inner bank (Wth 4.8m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.55m; L 22m) and fosse (Wth of top 6.35m; Wth of base 2m; D 0.5m) are separated by a berm (Wth 12m) from the outer bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.1m; L 27m) and outer fosse (Wth of top 5.1m; Wth of base 2.5m; D below outer field bank 1.45m). The causeways across the outer (Wth 6m) and inner (Wth 3m) fosses are possibly modern.

• WA026-088 Promontory fort - coastal
  Description

  Identified from an aerial survey by Markus Casey who described this monument as a long narrow undulating promontory (L 60m) which juts out into the rocky shore immediately to the E of Illaunacoltia. Flanked by a sandy beach to the W and sea rocks to the E and surrounded by 50’ high steep cliffs with some sward clinging to the sides of the fort. The headland has a straight fosse (Wth 3m; D 1.4m) running across the neck (Wth 11m) which is wider towards the E where some relatively recent excavation was carried out. A slight rise in the level of the interior along the edge of the fosse suggests an inner bank. A causeway crosses the fosse close to the eastern edge. The remains of earthworks, possibly representing banks and an intervening fosse lie close to the tip of the headland. The area is one of fertile pasture.

• WA026-089 Promontory fort - coastal
  Description

  Identified from an aerial survey by Markus Casey who described this monument as a small S-facing triangular grass-covered promontory (dims. 19m N-S; 8m E-W) which has a low curving earthen bank (H 0.3m) running across the neck, with a vague depression outside it suggesting a former fosse. Inside the garth runs a low earthen mound (dims. 7m x 3m; H 0.5m) across the narrowing garth. This may be either the remains of a second bank or an internal division or structure. Not enough remains to ascertain its true nature. The headland continues SW for a further 40m as a line of inaccessible, nearly vertical, sea rocks, suggesting the promontory was larger when enclosed as a fort. A land commission earthen boundary runs along the cliff edges and the area is one of fertile pasture. Several similar headlands along this coastline are also enclosed.
