Ringval Těšov I
Ringval Těšov I submitted by ladrin : Ringval Těšov is hidden in the woods of Slavkovský Forest, away from any tourist trail.. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Another "ringval" in western Bohemia can by found in the forested massif of Slavkovský les (forest) above the village of Těšnov. (for the details about "ringvaly" phenomena see the topic Ringval Mlýnek).

Despite the structure is well recognizable at the terrain, I have found it even on my second try. I think that Těšnov ringval I. is pretty similar to a more famous "ringval Nimrod" near the Marienbad.

Distinct inner island has diameter about 15m, circular moat has is 1,5 m deep and the less distinct outer rampart is 5 meters wide so the total diameter of the ringval is about 33m. In the ancient past the medieval village was standing in this locality, perhaps even of old Slavic origin.
