In this unassuming wooded area lies a significant Iron Age archaeological site, of which hardly anything remains today. Hidden between two main ridges of the Wiehen Hills, there once stood a roughly 1.5-hectare rampart fortified with a stone, timber, and earth wall. Constructed around 270 BC, it was burned down and abandoned barely 150 years later. Much evidence suggests that this site was not permanently inhabited.
