Lembecksburg, Circular rampart in Borgsum, Germany
The fortification features a circular structure measuring 95 meters in diameter with walls reaching heights between eight and ten meters.
Archaeological excavations conducted in the 1950s uncovered ceramic fragments from the Iron Age, indicating settlement before the Frisians arrived in the 7th century.
The site contains remains of four sod houses arranged radially near the wall, with gable doors leading to a central paved pathway.
The southern entrance provides access to the inner area, while remnants of a protective moat and marshland to the north reveal ancient defensive measures.
Recent investigations suggest the structure dates to the Roman Imperial period, contrary to previous assumptions about its medieval origins.
