The remains of a fort enclose the rocky summit of Craig Dorney, Oval on plan, the remains of a rampart reduced to a terrace can be traced round the margin of the summit, probably enclosing an area measuring about 70m from NE to SW by 38m transversely (0.25ha). On the NE, where the access is easiest, there is a second line forming a slighter terrace, while further down the slope a ditch can be seen extending round the NE, SE and SW flanks; the latter encloses an area measuring about 90m from NE to SW by 48m transversely (0.38ha). The interior is largely featureless, though traces of drystone walls have been noted at the SW end. The position of the entrance is not known.
