A coastal promontory between Broad Haven and Peel Slough, about 630m ESE of Mains of Portlethen farmhouse, is cut off by a possible ditch 9m broad and 3m deep. The interior measures about 45m from E to W by 17m transversely and is enclosed at the E end by a low bank 1.8m thick and 0.8m high. Midway along the interior a bank 7m thick and 0.8m high cuts across the promontory and turns W along the S side it is uncertain if this is an original feature of the earthwork or merely upcast from a recent military emplacement which has been constructed immediately behind the ditch.
