Description
NAR SM80SW21

1. A roughly 62m length of bank and ditch, showing an entrance gap towards the south, cutting off a segmented promontory: the immediately enclosed area is only about 32m by 87m, however, beyond a natural gap is a larger area of promontory (Nprn276050), showing the remains of a possible medieval castle & apparent building platforms; Sheep Island, some 60m offshore (Nprn401623), shows further possible building platforms & has produced Romano-British pottery.
Numerous hollows in the fort interior are thought more likely to relate to modern coastal defence than to the fort interior.

2. Aerial photography (2002/3507-24, 27) shows house platforms inside the fort against north side.
