The Wulvemote is still very recognizable in structure, even though nature has taken back much of what once was. When reading the information board, this mote (or motte) refers to a house (made of wood and loam) for a farming family and herd surrounded by a ditch. Another theory would see this mote as part of a protective belt of various motes. This protective belt would have functioned as a line of defense against the Norsemen. Little is known about the function(s) of motes and it will probably remain a mystery forever…

The information board also warns the hiker about the “eternal hunter” who is said to roam here at night. According to legend, a farmer’s son preferred hunting to harvesting, so the farmer/father cursed him to an eternal hunt. Sometimes you can still hear the hunting horn or the calling of the dogs. I didn’t hear anything, but then again, I don’t normally walk through a forest at night. 😉
