As described. Grass covered. 60ft x 12ft x 10ft high main, curved, partly exposed rampart plus possible rear rampart, with a small depression (bowl) of land in between. There is also a possible third rampart, to the west of the other two ramparts.
Ramparts suffering from subsidence due to animal activity and illegal removal of material on W edge of rampart. Coastal erosion is occurring particularly on W and E cliff edges below ramparts and visitor paths here are aggravating situation.

Description
As described. Grass covered. 60ft x 12ft x 10ft high main, curved, partly exposed rampart plus possible rear rampart, with a small depression (bowl) of land in between. There is also a possible third rampart, to the west of the other two ramparts.
Ramparts suffering from subsidence due to animal activity and illegal removal of material on W edge of rampart. Coastal erosion is occurring particularly on W and E cliff edges below ramparts and visitor paths here are aggravating situation.
Possibly expose ramparts with an archeological dig and then consider what action to implement. (?)
If not, fence off the whole area from cattle and the footpath.
