The National Monuments Service's description
A possible promontory fort consisting of a narrow west-facing headland cut off from the mainland by a substantial earthen bank was seen from the air on the coastline between Cliffony and Grange villages (Casey 1999, 198). Its exact location could not be identified on OS maps or on the ground.
