Pics, or it didn’t happen?Waiting for the white death from above here in Ohio.
Very interesting. This was massive for the times it seems. How far from navigable waters was this settlement? Just beyond the ring berm or much farther away?I live in Denmark.. so in February there are no mountains, snow or sunshine to show. Picture from a recent visit at Trelleborg: the site of a Viking ring castle. Trelleborg is believed to have been ordered by King Harald Bluetooth in the year 980 AD and it might have commanded the Great Belt and its sea traffic, between the islands of Zealand and Funen. There were Viking longhouses originally, reconstructed by traces of the wooden structure that were found.View attachment 125850
10km or more to the coast, and next to some small creeks that would be not navigable as far as I can see (don't know much about vikings). Apparently this was mainly used to strengthen central power of the King, so part of an attempt subdue petty kings and local chieftains, Also: there are no written sources, which is largely explained by this fortification having been in use only 10-15 years.Very interesting.
