A 2ha promontory has been fortified with a strong wall 80m long and up to 4m wide and 1.5m high with inner and outer facing stones visible. A cliff section reveals an earthen core and the entrance lies near the walls' S end. Part of the interior has been disturbed but no structures are visible. A modern dyke lies at the foot of slope below the wall.
