Excavation has shown that a fort succeeded a broch on this steep-sided promontory. Finds from the site, which have been deposited in the Hunterian Museum, and C.14 dating, indicate a limited life span for both fortifications in the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. An outcrop

of rock at the N end of the promontory is cup-marked.
