What is recorded here

Possible promontory fort described in 2002 as follows; ‘A small subrectangular west-facing promontory juts out 20m from the straight coastline. It is cut off from the mainland by a modern shoreline earthen bank but also by a 3m wide 1m deep fosse running along the inside of this bank. This site has not been inspected and it is unclear whether or not this feature is artificial. The area is flat and has been drained, although flooding is visible close by. The cliffs flanking the headland are sheer’ (Casey 2002, 31, no. K).

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