What is recorded here

Doon Point still wears a low earthen bank across its neck, shaping a small promontory fort where grass slopes toward the sea. Near the northern edge rises a modest mound, no taller than a kneeling person, with a slightly hollowed top and a base wide enough for several people to circle. Local tradition calls it a grave, and that simple claim gives the place its edge: a fortified headland may have kept out strangers, but the mound suggests someone there was remembered beneath the soil.

A small S-facing promontory known locally as 'Doon Point' or 'the fort' (DG089-019001-). The approaching narrow neck of land is traversed by a valley/fosse/ditch but there is no sign of any bank. There were a number of 'huts' (DG089-019002-) on the promontory but these were cleared about the beginning of this century. The interior is now flat grassland sloping to the E with some evidence of recent cultivation. Located 324m north of the southern point of 'The Doon' there are the remains of a low earthen bank (top Wth 0.7m; base wth 1.5m; int. H 0.2m) with outer fosse (Wth 1m; ext. D 0.2m) which runs for a distance of 50m from east to west cutting off the headland known as 'The Doon' to form a fortified headland or promontory fort. This low earthwork appears to be the original outermost defensive element of the promontory fort. The remains of a small earthen mound (H 0.4m; top diam. 2.4m, base diam. 4.6m) (DG089-019003-) wth slightly concave summit is located in the northern edge of the promontory fort. According to local information this mound traditionally marks the site of a grave or burial.
