A precipitous promontory projecting from the foot of the coastal cliffs on the NW coast of Islay is cut off by a wall 2m in thickness and still standing 1.3m high. Several rectangular chambers are built into the wall, but these may be later adaptations, one possibly exploiting an original entrance. The promontory beyond the wall measures about 175m from NW to SE by 115m transversely (1.36ha). A wall also drops down the slope on the S to a small hut and pen, but these, together with several other structures amongst the boulders to the W, are probably related to much later use.
