Description

A promontory fort joined to the mainland by a natural narrow neck forming a causeway from which the main part of the elongated promontory rises. ShoreUPDATE 11/12/2015 The promontory was not accessed due to weather conditions, so the seaward side was not seen. Other than some slight slumping at the edges of the cliffs, no evidence of coastal erosion was visible from the adjacent path, and the integrity of monument is not threatened by erosion.
