(NM 1435 5464) Fort (NR)
OS 1:10,000 map, (1975)
Fort, Feall Bay: The severely denuded remains of a fort occupy a rocky ridge overlooking the E side of Feall Bay. Protected on the W side by a precipitous cliff, the fort has consisted of a wall enclosing an area approximately 40m by 17m, but this survives only on the E and S sides, where it is reduced to an irregular stony band of 0.4m in height. There is no trace of the entrance, but it probably lay on the SE side of the fort, where the approach is easiest.
RCAHMS 1980, visited 1975.
Surveyed at 1:10,000.
Visited by OS (I S S) 23 June 1972.
Note (6 November 2014 - 23 May 2016)
Occupying a rocky ridge with falls away in a cliff along its W flank, this heavily robbed fort measures about 40m from N to S by a maximum of 17m transversely (0.07ha) within a wall that can now be traced only as a band of rubble cutting off the approaches on the S and E. The entrance is not visible, but may have lain on the easiest line of access from the SE. The interior is featureless.
