Full Description

NG33NW 6 3173 3740.

(NG 3173 3740) Fort (NR)
OS 6"map, (1969)

A fort comprising the remains of a curving wall drawn across the landward side of a cliff girt coastal promontory. The wall abuts onto the cliff at each end and no attempt has been made to continue it round the promontory nor to block one or two places of easy access which makes the position relatively weak. Although the outer wall face is visible intermittently, no definite inner facing stones are evident, but judging by the debris, the wall appears to have been generally 2.0m thick, perhaps expanding to about 2.5m near its centre. The entrance is about 10.0m from the S end of the wall. The outer end of the S side is defined by three stones on edge, but the N side is destroyed and the width cannot be ascertained. The interior is featureless.
Visited by OS (A A) 2 November 1971 and (A S P) 2 June 1961; RCAHMS 1928.
