A spectacularly narrow and cliff-girt promontory, accessible only via a razor-backed col from the cliffs on the S, has evidently been enclosed and occupied. From the col the ground rises some 4m to the crest of a low bank that can be traced round the lip of the promontory, enclosing an area measuring about 47m in length and expanding from a narrow point above the col to a maximum of 10m in breadth at the seaward end on the N (0.02ha). Three hollows, variously planned as oval or subrectangular, are set transversely across the broader part of the interior and are probably the footings of buildings; there is also a small terrace cut into the foot of the slope above the cliff-edge at the very tip of the promontory on the N.
