Recorded monuments

• WA026-041001 Promontory fort - coastal
  Description

  Situated on a coastal promontory jutting S from the mainland. This is a rectangular grass-covered promontory (dims. 60- 90m N-S; 72-110m E-W) cut off at the N by an earthen bank (Wth 11m; int. H 2.1m; ext. H 2.7m; L c. 72m) with an outer flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of top 9.6m; Wth of base 3.8m; D 1.6m). The entrance (Wth 2.75m) and causeway (Wth 2.6m) are towards the centre. The 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map depicts a feature (dims. c. 25m E-W; c. 15m N-S) inside the bank at W but it could not be identified by Westropp 1908, 230) and is not extant.

• WA026-091 Promontory fort - coastal
  Description

  Identified from an aerial survey by Markus Casey who described this possible monument as diamond-shaped S-facing island (L 33m) which has a barely discernible series of undulations at its narrow isthmus, suggesting the former presence of a bank and fosse. The neck of the promontory has recently collapsed, leaving only low mounds on either side of the isthmus. Low earthworks close to the northern edge form a subrectangular enclosure and the remains of an earthen perimeter bank are visible. The monument is accessible as is the sea below, though with difficulty. The site is surrounded by 75' high cliffs and the area is one of mixed quality pasture.
