In the 19th century this precipitous promontory was thought to have been fortified (Name Book, Caithness, No.11, p 51), though there is very little evidence of any defences today. Separated from the mainland cliffs on the S by a deep geo, the promontory is only connected to the shore by a heavily eroded, razor-backed neck approaching from the W, and the only evidence that it has been enclosed are traces of a wall reduced to a stony bank extending along its S margin. The summit area, which measures about 65m from ENE to WSW by 45m transversely (0.23ha), is featureless.
