The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a relatively high area of rock outcrop with sea-cliffs (H c. 5m) c. 45m to the SE. It is marked on the 1839 and 1940 eds of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering on both as ‘Bullock’s Track’. This is a natural cleft in the W-facing slope of the rock outcrop, but it has no known association with the parish church of St. Helen’s (WX048-037001-) which is c. 20m to the E.
