The National Monuments Service's description
Aerial photograph (GB92.FD.37) shows cropmark of circular enclosure (diam. c. 100-110m) defined by the remains of a bank and an external ditch feature. A small circular enclosure is located at the centre of the enclosure, possibly a ring-ditch or house site. Located on the summit of Drumran Hill. It is mainly plough-levelled, but low-level earthworks may survive in the north-western segment of the enclosure and in the western segment. The enclosure is bisected by two modern field boundaries. It can also be seen on the OSI aerial images (2005).
