Situated on a sea promontory jutting S which is cut off on the landward side by a grass-covered bank (Wth 7.2m; int. H 1.5m; ext. H 2.2m) and outer fosse (Wth at base 1.6m; ext. D 1.6m) with an external bank (Wth 6.5m; ext. H 1.1m) and slight outer fosse (Wth c. 4m; max. ext. D 0.65m). The entrance through the outer bank and across both fosses is towards the E end. The internal area is small (dims. c. 50m E-W; c. 15-24m N-S), but Brown's Island, separated from the promontory by the sea, may once have been part of this fort. (Westropp 1906, 253-4; 1914-16, 209-10)
