description
The conical Spitzinger Berg has an elongated crest that is raised by a low rock ridge. A ditch separates the actual mountain peak from the hinterland. In the south of the ridge a small 30 m long wall has been excavated from the inside, which leans against the rock with both ends and encloses a narrow interior. Its height is about 1 m. A gate opening is indicated by overlapping wall legs.
