A heavily eroded promontory at the head of Clardon Haven is defended on the landward side by a substantial rampart and ditch. The rampart is reduced to a grass grown bank some 7m in thickness and stands up to 3m in height above the bottom of the external ditch, which is up to 4m in breadth. Internally, however, the rampart stands only 1m high, but erosion along the margins of the promontory has revealed a deep deposit containing midden and wall footings. The fragment of the interior remaining measures 27m from NW to SE immediately in the rear of the rampart, by no more than 13m transversely. The position of the entrance is not known.
