Ringwall Burscheider Mauer, Celtic circular rampart in Landscheid Forest, Germany
The fortification stands on a mountain ridge rising 366 meters above sea level, featuring a 6-meter wide and 1.2-meter high dry stone wall.
The circular wall was constructed during the first century CE using the Murus Gallicus technique, with horizontal wooden beams placed at regular intervals within the stone structure.
Archaeological excavations in 1967 revealed bronze cups, drinking glasses, wine jugs, and amphorae, indicating the wealth of the former Celtic inhabitants.
The fortification includes a western entrance gate with a trapezoidal chamber measuring 3.5 meters at the inner edge and 2.3 meters at the outer edge.
A round stone well discovered near the site represents an exceptional feature at this elevation in the region.
