The ringwall lies on a small, after W advanced mountain tongue, the
distinctly offset from the adjacent Jurahochfläche by a saddle
is. The area enclosed by the fortification is about 200 X 50 m. The Wall, which was recently disturbed in its W area, crosses the
stronger endangered eastern flank sections of the rampart. In this area
it is preceded by a partially preserved trench. The inner one
Wall height here amounts to 1.5 m, the difference between rampart and grabensole
5.5 m. In the middle of the south section, there is a gap in the ringwall
an old entrance. This ringwall surrounds the O and S protective
second fastening system, which, following the contour lines, in S and SO is recognizable only as an artificial division. In O it goes into a short
Section wall with an upstream, damaged by culverts
Ditch over.
250 m to the east, thus already beyond the saddle between the spur and the Alb plateau, an outer strong fortification system crosses the ridge. The section wall with O neck upstream trench, which pulls down a slope in the N and S, is an entrance barrier to
actual attachment (Vorwerk). 1925 was at the breakthrough one of the two
Section walls found a early medieval horseshoe. Out of the area
The ringwalls contain some prehistoric fragments (Mus. Bamberg).
The nature of the structure of this attachment suggests that they are in
Carolingian-Ottonian period.
