Description

Fully described in NMRS. Visited by OS (WDJ) on 9 April 1960, OS (ISS) on 22 July 1971 and OS (JB) on 15 September 1971. The fort is situated at the end of the promontory, defended by cliffs on three sides. It has little changed from the descriptions by previous surveyors. The hollow noted on the summit now shows a considerable amount of stone. There are possible worked quarries amongst the natural outcrops inland, c 50-100 m to the SE. The cliff-top seems grassed and stable on all sides.
