It is one of only two fortified sites in Cornwall where Early Iron Age pottery has been found.

The defences comprise a stone rampart, ditch and counterscarp bank built across the neck of the headland, with almost sheer cliffs on two sides and a steep slope on the third.

There are some indications that the site may have been occupied before these defences were constructed.
