Kleinkastell Lochmühle, Roman castellum in Hesse, Germany.
The fortification measures 18 by 22 meters and features rounded corners with a single gate facing towards the Upper German-Raetian Limes.
Built around 150 AD, this military outpost belonged to the Cohors II Raetorum civium Romanorum equitata and remained operational until 260 AD.
Archaeological excavations at the site, which started in 1871 under Karl August von Cohausen, uncovered remains of floor heating systems.
The archaeological site is located within the Lochmühle leisure park, southwest of Wehrheim, and includes an educational trail explaining Roman history.
Located 30 meters from the main Limes barrier, the fortress likely incorporated a wooden watchtower for enhanced border surveillance.
