THis fort is situated on the summit of Doonans Hill, which rises steeply from the E bank of the Water of Girvan to the S of Straiton. Roughly oval on plan, it measures 105m from E to W by 43m transversely (0.34ha) within a single rampart reduced to a low bank. A series of terraces within the interior, which were identified in 1955 by RCAHMS as the remains of further ramparts, are probably natural. The interior is otherwise featureless and the entrance is on the E.
