geography

La Tène Age ditch system with cremation grave

To the west of a gravel road between Zöfing and Henzing (municipality of Sieghartskirchen) , prehistoric objects were found in a gravel pit in 1978, but mostly destroyed by mining. An emergency excavation by the Federal Monuments Office was able to save, recover and document some finds. The trench system is remarkable, a shallow bottom trench with a cross-section of almost one meter wide, half a meter deep and an assumed length of around 100 m. The only partially exposed trench system spans an area of estimated 30 × 80 m in the form of an irregular rectangle. The backfilling of the trench contained potsherds deformed by the effects of heat and a cremation grave just next to the complex . The functional assignment and dating of the found objects suggests a cult site from the late Latène period .
