Ringwallburg Heunstein, Archaeological site on Heunstein mountain near Nanzenbach, Germany
The Celtic fortification stretches along a mountain ridge for 650 meters, with protective walls encompassing an area of 12 hectares at 471 meters elevation.
Archaeological excavations conducted between 1925 and 1931 by Dr. Ferdinand Kutsch revealed artifacts from the late La Tène period indicating a Celtic settlement.
The site contains remnants of ancient defensive structures, including walls made from wood, earth, and stone that protected a natural spring called Heuweiher.
The fortification walls remain visible in the forested area north of Dillenburg, requiring authorization from monument authorities for research and artifact collection.
Evidence of copper smelting operations from the middle to late La Tène period has been discovered near the fortification site.
