Hangastenmäen linnavuori, Medieval hillfort in Janakkala, Finland.
The archaeological site stands on a rectangular plateau 63 meters above Kernaalanjärvi lake, featuring stone walls measuring 2.5 meters in thickness.
Discovered in 2013 through metal detection, this fortification dates from the late 1200s and contains evidence of military activities through the 1300s.
Archaeological excavations revealed silver-plated spearheads, sword pommels, armor arrow tips, horseshoes, and torch holders, indicating military and equestrian activities.
The fortress remains lack marked paths or information signs, requiring visitors to navigate natural terrain to reach the archaeological structures.
Between stone formations at the northeastern wall, researchers identified potential gate openings and traces of a blacksmith workshop with iron slag deposits.
