The large Slavic fortification covers an area of approximately 15 hectares and is located on the eastern edge of the Gföhl Forest, high above the right bank of the Kamp River. The site has been known since 1800, but excavations have only been conducted here since 1965 by the University of Vienna, with financial support from the Lower Austrian provincial government.
