with a trench in front some 15' broad and now
remaining visible only at the E. [East] end. Within the bank
roughly parallel to it and some 40' distant there
has been erected a wall between points of outcropping
rock, except towards the
NW. [North West] where a gap has been left between two rocks for
an entrance. The wall is entirely broken down
and is represented by a mass of loose stones
some 40' wide between the central points of rock.
It seems to have been about 20' thick at base.
The entrance has passed directly through the
defences at the W. [West] end opening into the
enceinte opposite the edge of the cliff.
The area of the interior measures some 70' - 80'
in length to seaward by 66' in breadth and
the length of the frontage is about 200'.
Against the outer face of the inner wall
near its E [East] end is a stony foundation
measuring some 10' in diameter

In a grass field about 1/2 m. [mile] NE. [North East] of Corwall
farm there is a circular area covered with
odd heaps of stones and overgrown with
bracken around a small segment of which
there appears a bank of earth & stone. It
lies at the bottom of the slope of the field
and though it may it have been a
defensive enclosure has not been a fort.
