Lisbjerg Forbrændingen is an important incineration plant and hazardous waste treatment facility and works as a landmark for this area.

Several houses, apartments and a school have already been built as of 2015 and in 2017, Aarhus light rail is intended to have its end station here.

[5] The farm excavated at Lisbjerg shows traces of three building phases, indicating that it existed for a significant time period.

Relatively light in the earliest phase, by the latest it had developed into a substantial palisade surrounding a roughly rectangular patch of land of about 170 by 110 meters.

The area inside this fence might be the "sheltered yard", a particular part of a farmstead which has special status in medieval law.

Its isolated location on the east side of the important old road to Aarhus is also suitable for property belonging to a magnate or nobleman.

[6] Moesgaard Museum has also found traces of a moat running across the road from Lisbjerg to Aarhus, which would have forced travelers to cross the stream of Egå just south of the village.

As the Lisbjerg settlement is located in the south-western part of the herred and far from its geographical center, it must have been all the more important in order to assume a central administrative role.

If the farm owner at Lisbjerg was indeed powerful enough to hold authority over the whole herred, he would have been an obvious candidate for building a church upon the introduction of Christianity.

[3] It is also possible that continuity of tradition or cult practices played a role,[6] as pagan rituals may have been carried out at main houses of important farms during the Viking Age.

In August 1933, a Late Bronze Age hoard was found in a gravel pit east of Nymølle farm near Lisbjerg.
