The castle lies within a presumably prehistoric fortification, the age of which is unknown due to a lack of systematic archaeological research. A section of rampart with a ditch in front ran east of the Oberlimpurg farm and separated the mountain spur from the Hall plain. A section almost 40 m long and up to 4 m high has been preserved on the southwestern edge of the valley. Finds, mostly made during construction work, date from the Neolithic period (5th millennium BC to c. 1800 BC) and the La Tène period (500/450 BC to c. AD). Whether there was a connection between this fortification and the Celtic saltworks, also from the La Tène period, in the area of Schwäbisch Hall's old town can only be speculated.
