description

Across the southern end of the plateau between the two rivers, at the edge of the forest, there is a low and in places sanded-off 450 m long wall. In some places this is jagged. Its west and east ends each bend south and run out into the partly pronounced slope surface. The complex is classified as prehistoric and prehistoric and possibly also estimated as medieval. Part of the fortification seems to have recently been laid out as an economic border.
