A small north facing headland lying in an area of fertile pasture is cut off from the mainland by a straight deep ditch, with earthen banks visible on either side of it. The site is flanked by steep cliffs and measures about 15m long. This site had not been previously recorded and though seen from the air it could not be located on the ground.
