What is recorded here

Situated on top of the more easterly of two hills known as ‘The Doons’ and named as such on the 1910 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. The hills rise to c. 255m OD and are steep sided. Discovered in 2012 the remains comprise a double rampart enclosing the top of the hill. The inner rampart encloses a very flat summit plateau c. 80m by c. 100m with traces of a probable outer enclosing element visible to the E and N. Inside the inner rampart at the S is a possible kerb-circle (LE010-085004-) and towards the centre of the plateau is a possible enclosure defined as a sunken hollow (LE010-085001-) while 13m NE of these are two hut-sites (LE010-085002-; LE010-085003-).
