On a mountain tongue near Kreuzweingarten, which is called "Alter Burgberg", lies an Iron Age ring wall (50 ° 36'40 "N; 6 ° 47'53" E), which according to today's knowledge was inhabited by the Eburones. The wall system (walls and ditches) encloses an oval area 350 m long and 180 m wide. To the north, west and south the terrain drops steeply behind the wall, in contrast to the east, where there was a second wall in front for additional fortification. This is also where the entrance to this height fortification was. Excavations in the 1920s clarified that the walls had wall shells made of dry stone, which were filled with earth and further strengthened by beams and horizontal pieces of wood (Murus Gallicus). In addition, houses were detected by post marks inside the complex.
