The Archenleiten ring wall is a defunct ring wall system ( Wallburg ) 1000 meters north-northeast of Emhof , a district of the Schmidmühlen community in the Amberg-Sulzbach district in Bavaria .

From the prehistoric fortifications only a small circular ring wall with an inner diameter of 25 meters and an outer diameter of 36 meters is preserved. This wall consists of smaller stones and is still two to four meters wide and 0.3 to 0.4 meters high. The complex is roughly dated to a prehistoric period. It served as a fortification of a hilltop settlement.

Today the ring wall is registered as a soil monument D-3-6737-0025 "Prehistoric hillside settlement with ring wall" by the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation .
