Promontory fort. Discovered in 1961 by Mr. and Mrs. J Wilson. They noted that it appeared to consist of a single rampart and a broad ditch, however these were much obscured by recent slit trenches and observation posts. It is the highest point on this part of the coast and is the last of six promontory forts between Arbroath and Lunan Bay. During WWI the promontory was used as an observation post. A long trench was cut through the length of the rampart, and showed traces of an occupation layer about half-way up the side and that the rampart was composed of loose stones. The rampart is so mutilated that only the southern end, interior height of 1 m, could be measured by the OS in 1965. In front of the rampart are a natural gully used as a ditch, its bottom circa 3.7 m below the top of the rampart and a causeway across the ditch leading to a possible mutilated entrance placed centrally in the rampart. Recorded in site visit during coastal zone assessment survey carried out by SCAPE between February and March 2009.
