Ringwall Bleibeskopf, Archaeological site in Bad Homburg vor der Höhe, Germany
The Ringwall Bleibeskopf encompasses a circular fortification with a circumference of 500 meters, surrounding an area of 1.4 hectares on a hilltop location.
Dating back to 800 BCE during the Urnfield culture period, this fortified settlement integrated existing rock formations into its defensive walls along the southwest side.
Archaeological excavations between 1899 and 1910 uncovered seven depot findings containing bronze weapons, tools, jewelry, and other artifacts from ancient settlements.
The site features marked paths leading to the northern entrance, where visitors can observe the remains of a 3-meter-wide dry stone wall construction.
The elevation differences within the enclosure reach up to 25 meters, with three distinct height levels incorporating natural terrain features for defensive purposes.
