The Jansburg even Hamsburg called the Letter fracture in Coesfeld in North Rhine-Westphalia is an Outbound ring Wallburg the chamavi from the late first century AD.
The Jansburg is an archaeologically hardly explored ground monument . Their structure can still be made out from the crumbling earth walls and ditches . Two entrances from the north and south led into the approximately six to eight acre facility. The earth wall was two to three meters high and eight meters wide, the trenches about two meters deep. In front of the north gate are the remains of a crescent-shaped protective wall with a moat. It is assumed that the Jansburg served as a refuge for cattle and the local population. Today the complex is covered with trees and bushes and is hardly noticeable in the flat Münsterland landscape.
