Erdwerk von Wellie, Archaeological site in Steyerberg, Germany.
The circular earthwork spans an area of 5.7 hectares with seven entrance points formed by earthen bridges across its enclosing ditch system.
The Neolithic earthwork, constructed around 4000 BCE, served as a central gathering place for early farming communities in Lower Saxony.
Archaeological investigations at Wellie Earthwork reveal patterns of prehistoric social organization through its structured layout and communal construction methods.
Located 1500 meters west of the Wellie River bend, the site underwent geophysical surveys by the University of Göttingen in 2019.
Aerial archaeologist Heinz-Dieter Freese discovered this prehistoric monument in 2018 during a surveillance flight at 300 meters altitude.
