Kaarma hill fort, Archaeological monument and hillfort in Kaarma-Kirikuküla, Estonia.
The fortification stands on elevated terrain with earthen ramparts and defensive structures covering several hectares of historical land within Saaremaa Rural Municipality.
The hillfort served as a primary stronghold during the rebellion of 1260-1261, leading to a significant battle involving the Livonian Order and Danish forces.
Archaeological excavations at Kaarma have uncovered numerous artifacts that demonstrate iron working activities and trade connections with neighboring settlements during the Iron Age.
The site is accessible through local roads in Saaremaa, with informational panels explaining the historical significance and archaeological findings to visitors.
The fort contains an ancient well and visible gate locations, which remained untouched since Holzmayer's initial excavations in 1860.
