Access to a large cliff-girt coastal promontory to the NE of Skerray has been blocked by a thick earth-cored wall up to 4m in thickness by 1.5m in height. The wall is positioned on the crest of the slope rising up on the seaward side of the neck, which is about 60m wide at this point. It is broken by an entrance at its SE end. The interior follows the irregular indentations of the cliff-line, which at the seaward descends across broken outcrops to the sea, and measures a maximum of 160m from N to S by about 75m transversely, an area of about 1.5ha. A more recent dyke set at the foot of the slope below the wall encloses the promontory in a very similar fashion.
