Full Description

NB 0455 3380 5 metres OD
Promontory enclosure/fort
The promontory called Tolanais, centred at NB 0450 3380 is demarked from the mainland to the north by a turf and stone dyke that runs in an easterly direction from NB 0415 3383 for 83.5 metres to NB 0423 3382. This wall has a break of 3.5 metres at its centre point that has been forced to allow the passage of modern farm machinery but otherwise runs uninterrupted from shore to shore of the promontory. No features other than monument 304 (NB 0450 3375) can be seen on the promontory and it is possible that this feature is agricultural.
