The Celts were divided into many different tribes, whose settlement area encompassed large parts of Europe. From Spain to the Balkans, Celts shaped the development of numerous European landscapes, including the British Isles. Many of the so-called Celtic earthworks, also known as square enclosures, were built before the Roman invasion in 15 BC. These square enclosures, or Celtic earthworks, are remnants of a square, sometimes rectangular, area with a rampart and ditch, primarily found in southern Germany. Parts of such an enclosure can be seen near Olgishofen in the Unterallgäu region.
