What is recorded here

Doon Fort occupies a circular hillock above northern bogland, preserving a broad oval platform where a castle once stood and a hidden cave may still breathe beneath the soil. The earth has swallowed most of its edges, leaving only a faint scarp to mark the boundary between human ambition and natural forgetting. Anyone walking the summit touches the same quiet tension that built the fort: visibility, control and the danger of disappearing inside the land itself.

On summit of a circular hillock with bogland to N. A very poorly preserved oval platform (E-W 60m, N-S 50m) (GA073-073001-) defined by a scarp. A castle (GA073-073003-) is associated. There is also a local tradition of a 'cave' (possible Man-made underground passage, GA073-073002-) but no visible surface trace of it survives.
