The National Monuments Service's description
Redmond (1885-6a, 399-400) describes a linear earthwork on Camphire hill, opposite Dromana as a 'double trench on either side of a road' called Cairn an damh dearg - the cairn of the red ox. This may be the stone wall with a ditch on its E side, but there is no reason to think it is ancient.
