Two tracked target systems lie on the E side of Loch Doon, at the N end of the loch. The N example is c.407m and the S example is 427m long. Each tracked target system is the same comprising a line of pairs of concrete blocks some c.7m apart from each other. At either end, the pairs of blocks are widely spaced but narrow until they join together near the middle of the site, before moving apart. The blocks would have supported a track on which the target was placed. How they would have been used is unclear.

They are not part of an alleged monorail system running down the length of the E side of the Loch.
