This tower point is characterized by the fact that here, as in WP 10/08, two wooden towers represent the predecessors of the later wooden tower. The northern wooden tower 1 had a dry brickwork foundation with side lengths of 5.25 mx 5.25 m. Unfortunately nothing is known about the southern, presumably the older, wooden tower, except that it was destroyed in antiquity and the trenches were completely filled. The later stone tower had sides of 5.25 mx 5.25 m and was unfortunately completely excavated. A round area of grass today only reminds of its location.
