The Beer Castle is an Outbound Wallenburg at Real in southern Lower Saxony . The remains of the ramparts of the hill fort are located on the top of the 267.5 meter high Bierberg . The fortification, for which there is no documentary record, probably existed during the early Middle Ages .
description
The remains of the facility lie on the oval-shaped hilltop of the wooded Bierberg, which is around 30 meters wide and 100 meters long. The plateau of the mountain top is surrounded by steep slopes that offered natural protection. Below the steep slopes, there are elevations in the ground that can be interpreted as former ramparts. On the plateau there is a larger depression in the ground, which could have come from an earlier cistern or a building cellar. Archaeological investigations have not yet taken place.
The fortifications on the Bierberg lay on long-distance medieval paths. An army road led past the elevation in the west and the Northeim - Seesen road in the east.
