It is probable that there has been a camp at Glanton; there are apparent remains of an entrenchment to the north of the village (NU 06931468 to NU07261468) (2) and tradition avers that they once extended to the south. At the east end of the village (NU 07341441) (4) there are the remains of an enclosure with a single rampart somewhat rectangular in shape. Probably it was a 'British settlement'. (1)(2)(3)(4)

There are no visible remains of the 'entrenchment', its projected line now passing through flat pasture fields, and, at the west end, a small series of slight cultivation terraces. All that survives to the south of the village is the remains of the 'rectangular enclosure'. This takes the form of a rounded south-east angle to a ploughed down platform with traces of an external ditch (surveyed at 1:2500).
Both MacLauchlan and Hardy treat the entrenchment and the enclosure as separate works, whereas their relative positions (see illustration) suggest that they could be parts of the same one. It is also significant that neither makes any attempt to link the remains with the Devil's Causeway (RR 87) which passes close by. On balance it seems likely that the medieval village of Glanton had a bank and ditch boundary earthwork of which the indicated remains formed parts. (5)
