Enigmatic circular earthen construction hidden in the deep woods north from the Mariánské Lázně town (Marienbad) called Nimrod Ringval or simply Strážiště (Fort). Similar structures can be found throughout the western Bohemia region. (For the detailed description about the "ringval" phenomena see the topic "Ringval Mlýnek".)
Being located not far from the famous spa town, Nimrod ringval is a sort of prominent monument. Almost all other similar structures are totally unknown to public. But this site is well signposted and there is a tourist trail.
The structure itself is quite impressive. The inner island has about 12 metres in diametre. Two metres deep moat is still filled with some water even during summer months. Outer earthen rampart has diametre around 40 m. According the expert survey, a wooden building structure used to stay in the middle. An extinct medieval village was documented in the close vicinity.
