Description

Possible sub-circular platform set on a NNW facing slope above Wild Pear Beach. Maybe a natural feature as there is a natural terrace running NE-SW across the slope, although this feature may be adapted from it. The platform is 6m wide and 4m deep, with the rear scarp about 0.6m high. The front is lost in a patch of gorse.
