The Rumps Cliff Castle is sited on a promontory formed from a band of hard basaltic rock. During the Late Iron Age three lines of ramparts were constructed to separate the lookouts and tiny rocky cove from the mainland, the innermost of the enclosure of which exploits a natural fault line in the rocks. Traces of round houses have been found both between the middle and inner ramparts and in the interior
