The National Monuments Service's description

Identified by Markus Casey who described this monument as a low circular hut site (diam. 3.4m), close to the western edge of a small triangular S-facing promontory fort (WA032-043001-). The area is one of fertile pasture with an unimproved strip of ground along the shore. Sheer 100’ high cliffs surround the promontory fort. (Casey 2001)
