The National Monuments Service's description
'Aerial photography indicates the presence of a crop mark enclosure on the east - north-east facing slope of the hill crowned by Glanbane hillfort (KE039-065----), approximately 50m from the outermost element of the hillfort. The site affords good views to the east and north-east and of the land rising up to the hillfort to the west - north-west. On the ground the extremely low undulation of an earthen bank can be detected for a short length on the south-western side of the site. The bank is extremely low, measuring approximately 9m in width, 0.25m high internally and externally. The remainder of the site is not visible on the ground only as a crop mark on aerial photography. The site is circular approximately 100m in diameter.'
