Not a causeway but a land link, other photos are to messy to show this, by this time the rain was torrential.

South west, note the attempt to cement the stones. Erosion, I think, will eventually win here.

Looking north east, a farmstead has been plonked on top.

Just a short distance from the thatched cottage is the promontory fort situated in the bay just slightly to the north.

Follow the shore line to what looks like a turf covered causeway. On top of the old fort farm buildings have been built but look closely and the remnants of the forts outer wall can be seen surrounding the edge of the site.

Not much to see and a case of what once was.
