Kleinkastell Hillscheid, Roman archaeological site in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
The fortified complex consists of two distinct structures: an outer fort measuring 43 meters by 36 meters and an inner fort of 15 meters square.
The Roman military installation operated as part of the Upper Germanic-Raetian Limes, forming a strategic defense point along the ancient Roman frontier during the second century.
The site demonstrates Roman military engineering through its remaining foundations, defensive ditches, and the strategic placement of watchtower WP 1/71 near ancient road junctions.
Located one kilometer from modern Hillscheid in the forest, the archaeological site includes reconstructed foundations and informational panels for educational purposes.
The fort's position at the convergence of two ancient paths from the Rhine River created a vital control point for monitoring movement across the Germanic frontier.
