Seen from the crumbling cliffs to the north. The bank and ditch are clearly silhouetted on the left of the picture (under the rain splodge).

The rampart seen from the coast path. Unfortunately there is no access as a cottage blocks the eastern approach.

Seen from the southwest. The cliffs beyond are the highest on the Pembrokeshire coast, so plenty of natural defence.
