Investigations on the ring wall of Bleibeskopf were carried out by Christian Ludwig Thomas in 1899, 1909 and 1910. The find situation allows for a uniform overall picture both typologically and chronologically and the corresponding dating to the time of the urn field culture. In addition, a purely one-period settlement seems to be secured. Seven depot finds are of particular importance. The bronze objects found cover a wide range of weapons, tools, jewelry and other equipment, with cast cakes indicating local workshops. The reason why the depots were created is unclear today. However, the finds underline the importance of the complex, which according to the available research results can be classified as a permanent hilltop settlement.
