The two outer ramparts were fastened by wooden breastworks, although the inner one was consisted by a wood-earth-construction. The only entrance was located on a steep slope to the west of the hilltop and was secured by a sophisticated gate system. In the northeast the ramparts and dichtes are not closed because they where either not completed or this area has been deliberately left open because of the nearby water spring. The pottery fragments which were recovered during the excavation can be dated to the late Latène Period of the Iron Age. However, the 14C-dating of a burnt layer on the sole of a rampart yielded an age of 310 ± 80 BC so that the hillfort may be dated as older.
