Bunkenburg, Archaeological site in Lower Saxony, Germany.
The oval-shaped defensive structure spans 150 meters across, featuring a remaining rampart section measuring 60 meters in length and 3 meters in height.
During the 13th and 14th centuries, this fortification controlled an important medieval crossing point on the northern bank of the Aller River.
Archaeological excavations in 1976 and 1982 revealed pottery fragments from the 9th to 11th centuries, indicating extended human settlement in this location.
The archaeological site is divided by a state road constructed in the 1980s, with the preserved rampart section located north of this modern thoroughfare.
The castle's name derives from 'Bunke,' referring to the bog iron used in its construction, while its remains were later used to build Ahlden Castle.
