What is recorded here

Possible promontory fort described by Casey (2003, 18) as follows; ‘A 2m wide straight fosse flanked by a low earthen bank crosses the island near the narrowest point, cutting of the northwestern third from the remainder. A martello tower [NIAH: 11311040] and several possible levelled field boundaries are the only features visible within. Not clearly a defended promontory but the site has not yet been examined on the ground.’

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
