Description
The fortified complex, designed for military and economic purposes, is at the southern end of a spur of overlooking the meeting of the Alder and the Landeren stream. It consists of two main sections: a clod serving as a dam, surrounded by a large dry ditch, and a south south, located at the end of the spur. The clod, conical in shape, measures approximately fifteen meters in height. The top platform, slightly altered by excavations, has leftover stone constructions. The farmyard is protected by an imposing land lifting accompanied by a dry ditch. The entire site is in very good condition.
