The facility with a floor area of around 500 × 500 meters is located at 447 m above sea level. NN height and therefore around 190 meters above the valley floor of the Main on the roughly triangular summit of the Banzer Berg.[4] This slopes steeply to the north, east and west to the side valleys of the Main, only at the tops of the mountain tops in the northwest and in the south are there constricted mountain saddles a few meters lower, which are followed by the other mountain peaks of this mountain range. The approximately ten hectare ring wall, whose shape resembles a bell, was completely destroyed in its western part by a quarry; in the south, at the top of the bell, it is interrupted by several recent breakthroughs, which are probably also related to the quarry work . The wall is well preserved in the northeast, east and southeast parts; it lies on the edge of the natural terrain of the hilltop. In front of it, there is a slope ditch five to seven meters deeper on the outside, in front of which there is a wall. This is still clearly visible, especially on the north side, the middle of the east side and at the northeast tip. The previous access can no longer be reliably located
