Kildoon Hill NS 298 073 NS20NE 6
On the E end of the ridge known as Kildoon Hill there are the remains of a fort measuring about 46m by 23m within a vitrified wall, now extensively robbed on the Wand SE and partly overlain on the E by a monument to Sir Charles Fergusson of Kilkerran. On the W, the wall is accompanied by two outer ramparts, each of them having an external quarry ditch. The entrance was probably on the WSW, where there is a terraced trackway on the slopes below the ends of the outer ramparts.
