The Celtic square ramparts "Brennburg" are now considered by archaeologists to be the centre of a rural settlement structure in Celtic times. They were built in the late La Tène period, i.e. around the middle of the 2nd century, and were abandoned again when the Romans arrived. They had no military function. Within the still impressive ramparts and ditches, which are still very well preserved at the Brennburg, there was probably an ensemble of residential and storage buildings, perhaps a small cult building and one or more wells. There was only one entrance in a gap in the rampart and a wooden bridge over the ditch, and perhaps even an imposing gatehouse. The earthwork lies on a step in the terrain of a spur of the Schalkenberg at a height of around 527 m. The ground plan of the Brennburg is almost square, the east side (102 m) is slightly shorter than the west flank (112 m). The northern wall is 113 m long, the southern wall measures 109 m. According to the terrain, the gate was in the south. The maximum height of the wall (measured from the bottom of the ditch) is about 2.5 m. The wall is interrupted by a few modern cuts.
