Borrering, Archaeological site in Zealand, Denmark.
The circular fortress measures 145 meters in diameter with ramparts stretching 10 to 11 meters wide, protected by wooden stakes at its perimeter.
Built around 980 AD, the fortress formed part of a network of military structures established during the Viking Age to control trade routes.
The site represents advanced Viking military engineering techniques and settlement patterns, demonstrating their strategic capabilities in establishing defensive positions.
Visitors can reach the fortress near Køge, where excavated northern and eastern gates reveal the characteristic structure of Viking fortifications.
The fortress lacks a traditional moat but utilized natural defenses from Ellebækken stream and a small lake for protection.
