Daubhaus ring wall system

North side of the outer wall of the complex

The Daubhaus ring wall system is a prehistoric ring wall system , probably from the late Hallstatt to early La Tène period on the Daubhaus in the Gladenbach district of Rachelshausen . The 551.8 m high hilltop is surrounded by a 900 to 1000 m long wall that is still clearly recognizable in places on the south, west and north flanks. In the east it is heavily sanded. The pincer-like access is in the north. Terraces with long fields can be seen on the flatter spout on the west side. On the south-western side of the hilltop there are numerous podiums that indicate a formerly permanent settlement.

The ring wall system located about 850 m to the north on the ring wall system on the Hünstein is assigned to the same time horizon.
