Two low banks with a medial ditch have been noted cutting across the neck of this large promontory. The ditch is described as about 3m broad and the banks up to 0.7m high. Bounded by steep slopes dropping down to a cliff edge around its margin, the interior measures about 205m in length from N to S and varies between 25m in breadth at the neck to a maximum of 90m (1ha). It is also enclosed by the remains of a turf dyke and has been cultivated.
