Over 2000 years ago, Celts built a fortification on this dolomite plateau. The natural escarpment to the south and east offered superiority over enemies and a rampart and moat was built on the access side. At this point an area of 4000m² was delimited by stones and a wooden structure. (Information from the Prümer Land Tour information board)
