Ringwall Leidersdorf

The Leidersdorf ring wall , also known as Wallburg Kellerberg , is located in the Leidersdorf district of the Upper Palatinate municipality of Ensdorf in the Amberg-Sulzbach district of Bavaria . The ring wall is located on the Kellerberg (also called Köhlerberg) above Leidersdorf and approx. 1425 m north-northeast of Ensdorf.

description

On the tip of a mountain tongue of the Kellerberg, which extends west into the Vilstal and drops into two deep valleys in the north and south, there is a rounded, square ring wall with a side length of 28 m. This is 4 m wide and 1.3 m high at the base. In its northeast corner there is a 2 m wide gap which may mark an earlier access gate. On the north side there is a deep excavation cut, on the south-west corner two further wall sections can be seen as slight depressions. The south side is heavily excavated, the inside falls slightly towards the southwest.

history

In 1930 excavations were carried out by the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation . Two cuts were made through the wall. At the southwest corner, two parallel shell walls were found 2.5 m apart and 0.6 m high. These were piled up from boulders and small stones.

The discovered under the stone core of southern Wall route shards finds, with the exception of some Silexabschlägen the urnfield culture or the late Bronze assign (1300-800 v. Chr.). Later readings from 1976 and 1984 of worked chert stones and various shards indicate an older, prehistoric phase of the rampart. In addition, iron slag that was not classified in any more detail was found. A shard can clearly be assigned to the High Middle Ages .
