Field Visit (August 1997)
A substantial earthen bank runs parallel with the coastline for over 100m. It is up to 2m wide and stands to an average height of 0.5m. It is adjoined by a second, of similar dimensions, which extends at 90 degrees for 50m to the cliff edge. Two orthostatic slabs, remnants of an old fence line, protrude from the bank and a ditch lies to its W side.
