Access to this irregular promontory is barred at the narrow neck on the WNW by a rampart and external ditch. The rampart forms a bank 3m in thickness by 0.8m in height, and the ditch, which is no more than 7m in length, measures 3.5m in breadth by 1.5m in depth. A causeway has been left for the entrance on the SSW side of the neck. The interior, which measures maxima of 75m from ESE to WNW by 40m transversely (0.15ha), divides into two arms at right-angle to each other, with a heavily eroded cleft above the entrance to a sea cave in the angle between them on the NE; it is featureless.
