A promontory fort is a type of enclosure, typically Iron Age in origin, where natural coastal cliffs do much of the defensive work and a constructed bank or ditch seals off the landward side. Within this one, two rectangular house sites have been recorded, and it is the south-eastern of the pair that draws attention here, measuring 13.4 metres by 4.9 metres, a narrow, elongated footprint that suggests a particular kind of domestic or functional use, though its date remains unresolved.

The site was recorded by Toal in 1995, who noted both house sites within the fort. Beyond those dimensions and their relative positions to one another, the record offers little further detail. The date is listed as indeterminate, which in archaeological terms means the physical remains alone do not point clearly to any period, and no excavation appears to have settled the question. That ambiguity is itself worth sitting with. The house could belong to the same period as the fort, or it could represent reuse of a sheltered, already-defined space by people living centuries later.
