This area of the heath wall was only exposed in the 1960s. The term "porte" makes it clear that it is an access construction directly on the course of the heath wall: a "gate" that led into the interior. Just a few meters above the access path between the two portal arms are the two Merovingian tumuli from the 7th century. The feeling of an inner "system" becomes more concrete here than in other places along the wall.
