Altes Schloss (Drügendorf)

The old castle site lies at a height of 493.4 m above sea level (NN) around 935 metres south-southeast of the Roman Catholic parish church of St. Margareta of Drügendorf in the Upper Franconian municipality of Eggolsheim in Bavaria, Germany.

The fortification is protected today as heritage site number D-4-6132-0125: "Early Medieval Ringwork" (Frühmittelalterliche Ringwallanlage).

[1] The ringwork is situated on westward pointing hill spur that lies about 180 metres above the valley floor.

[2] The oval interior of the fortification, which measures 55 by 35 metres, is enclosed on all sides by a circular rampart.

In front of the gently ascending eastern side a moat was dug as an additional obstacle.
