Jul 7, 2017 by News Staff / Source
In September 2014, archaeologists from Aarhus University and the Museum of South East Denmark announced the discovery of a Viking ring fortress at Borgring, Denmark. Since then, researchers have been waiting for the reliable results of the dating of the fortress. Now, a new find has resulted in a breakthrough in the investigation.
The Borgring fortress, located near Køge, a seaport about 39 km southwest of Copenhagen, is a so-called Trelleborg-type fortress.
Only eight fortresses of this type are currently known, including Nonnebakken, Aggersborg, Fyrkat, Borgeby and the famous Trelleborg.
