The National Monuments Service's description
Aerial photograph (GB92.FD.37) shows cropmark of circular enclosure, probably a hillfort, defined by a bank and an external ditch (ME006-062001-). 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.
