Doon Hill (Kildonnan) Enclosure is an earthwork located on the summit of Doon Hill c. 350m NNW of Kildonnan Farm on the B7042 between Sandhead and Portpatrick in Dumfries and Galloway. The rectangular grassy mound measures c. 20m E-W by 17.5m N-S. It is protected by an earth rampart and outer ditch. The highest remains of the rampart are c. 1.5m high in the SE corner. There is an entrance in the centre of the E Rampart. trove.scot/place/60597 estimates the internal dimensions of the enclosure to be 14m E-W and 12m transversely. Additionally, it dates the enclosure to the Iron Age.
