Herresal and Jomfrusal are almost like twin hill forts. They are located on two natural hilltops next to each other with a small valley cutting through between them where the local road is today. 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.
