A possible small fortification is situated on a small promontory along the line of the cliffs to the N of Trumpan Church. To the N and W the cliffs drop away to the sea, while to the S there is a precipitous drop into a gorge occupied by an unnamed stream. To the E, a ditch, measuring up to 5m across and 2.5m in depth, cuts off an oval area 13.5m from N to S by 8m transversely. Around the N arc of the area, cut off by the ditch, there is a fragment of walling 1.2m in thickness and 0.3m in maximum height. A ledge runs around the N side to a gap in the walling which may have been an entrance.
