This fort occupies the summit of a coastal headland. Oval on plan, it measures 30m from NE to SW by 20m transversely within a wall 3m in thickness; a long stretch of the outer face is visible around the E and S, in places standing 0.7m high in five courses. A medial wall-face within the thickness of the wall on the E possibly indicates multiperiod construction. The entrance is on the NE, opening onto a terrace on the cliff-edge, which has also been utilised for the entrance through an outer wall that extend from the cliff here round the E and S to the cliffs on the W; Of slighter construction it also retains several runs of outer facing-stones.
