On the west-facing side of a promontory is a very ruinous structure which measures 10 m by 2.5 m inside 1 m wide walls. The walls are boulder-constructed with an inner and outer face to a rubble core. The walls are 2-3 courses high or 0.6 m maximum. The north third of the structure is partitioned off. There is an entrance in the east wall which leads into the larger part of the structure with the partition on the right of the entrance. This structure is now on the beach with no turf on the seaward side and the seaweed-marked HWM only 1.5 m from the east wall.
