Borremose fortification, Protected ancient monument in Rebild Municipality, Denmark
The fortified Iron Age settlement consists of gravel banks measuring 140 by 90 meters, encircled by a moat with earth mounds on the inner side.
Built in the 4th century BC and inhabited until 125 BC, the settlement served as a refuge for the Cimbri people during the Bronze and Iron Ages.
The excavated settlement reveals information about early Danish society through discovered artifacts, including weapons, clothing, and everyday items preserved in the marshland.
Visitors can explore the marked house sites with turf walls and follow a 150-meter artificial cobbled road connecting the settlement to dry land.
The surrounding marsh contains multiple bog bodies from the Late Bronze Age, with numerous archaeological finds displayed at the Vesthimmerlands Museum.
