The inner enclosure is subcircular or D-shaped (dims. 32m E-W; 29m N-S) defined by scarps (H 1.6-2m) at N and S and destroyed by sea erosion at E, but a curving bank (Wth 5m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.2m) with an external fosse (Wth of top 8m; Wth of base 3m; D 1.2m) and counterscarp bank (Wth c. 4m; ext. H 0.3m) survive S-NW. The outer enclosure to the W is triangular (dims. 28m E-W; 23m N-S at E) with the apex at W whre it is defined by a fosse across the promontory (Wth of top 6m; D 2m). The inner enclosure may have been a rath imposed on earlier defences.
