They are both very similar in shape of walls and could have been built at the same time but not clear yet since it has been no excavations on these hillforts. Since they are probably two different structures I have choosen to put them in two different sites.
The jomfrusal is a elongated north east to south west natural clifftop. The hill has very steep sides to all sides except the north east side. Here the entrance to the hill is blocked by a 50 metre long wall. It is around 2 metres in height and around 4 metres wide. The wall is easily visible and very nice preserved. It has one entrance opening in the wall.
