This small fort occupies a promontory on the coastal escarpment, which hereabouts falls away sharply on the W some 60m to the sea below. First noted by RCAHMS in 1955, when it comprised a single ploughed-down earthen rampart with an external ditch, it had been almost obliterated by continuing cultivation by the time the OS visited in 1970, and no traces of it were observed by RCAHMS in 1984. In 1955 the rampart was spread some 7m thick and the ditch was 4.6m broad, cutting off an area measuring 33m from NE to SW by 27m transversely (0.05ha). The position of the entrance is uncertain.
