Pastscape says "A small defensive earthwork, possibly a hillfort or round, on the shore of the Hayle estury at Carnsew. It has been badly mutilated by the construction of an ornamental park in 1845, a railway cutting and ploughing. It apparently comprised two ramparts, the outer surmounting a 50 ft cliff. A grave slab of circa 400 was found here in 1843".
