An undated complex of earthwork banks is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1988 on the cliff edge. It has been classed as an undated enclosure or possible quarrying, but may be geological.

The banks are depicted on late nineteenth century mapping, roughly parallel to the contour on a small spur on the cliff edge, and although they may be deliberately constructed it is possible that they are natural features.
