The remains of a prehistoric settlement mound and close by the remains of a late medieval chapel. There is archaeological evidence on this headland from the Mesolithic, Neolithic and Beaker, Bronze Age & Iron Age periods. There are the remains of buildings, defence structures & graves. On the shore there are some cup marks on the outcropping rocks which date back to an earlier period.
