A sheer-sided promontory on the cliffs forming the W coast of Stroma has been cut off on the S by a single wall reduced to a bank some 6m in thickness by 1m in height; erosion at the W end had revealed the inner face of the wall in 1982 when it was surveyed by the OS, who estimated that the wall was about 2.3m thick at this point. A gap near the E end may mark the position of the entrance. The interior, which is roughly triangular on plan, measures about 65m from N to S by 60m transversely immediately to the rear of the wall; it is featureless.
