A rocky arm projects towards the south-east of the island from which it is separated at high tide. It terminates in a flat-topped columnar rock, which rises some 40 feet above the high water level. A rough track leads round the south face of this rock and winds up to the summit on the east. Along the one side of this track, as it mounts to the summit, are remains of a mortar-built wall, which has probably formed a parapet. On the summit there are no visible remains of buildings, though there are suggestions of foundations. Cf. RCAHMS 1924, Introd. p. xli.
