Situated on a small shelf above sea cliffs. This is a subcircular platform (dims. c. 20m E-W; c. 10m N-S) overgrown with bracken and known locally as ‘Clancy’s Garden’. It is defined by a drystone wall at S and W, and is enclosed by a natural cliff which rises over it to the N and E. A platform and L-shaped wall are visible in the interior with traces of a small paddock (dims. c. 6m N-S; c. 6m E-W) adjoining the enclosure at N. It is inaccessible. (Westropp 1914-16, 225)
