The Heunischenburg hillfort, near Kronach, in Bavaria, Germany; late Urnfield culture, 10th to 9th centuries B.C.
Heunischenburg is believed to have controlled an important copper and tin trade route. It displays late Mycenaean influences and is the oldest known & archaeologically investigated stone fortification north of the Alps. The fort/settlement is believed to have been built by a Celtic speaking culture that dominated Central and Western Europe at the time and would have been a precursor of the people later known as the “Gauls”.
