Mysteries of Trindborg: uncovering the Viking Age fortress's secrets

Trindborg, also known as Löt’s Borg, is a Viking Age fortress located 500 meters east of Löt’s Church on eastern Öland. This near-circular ringwall, heavily eroded by agriculture over time, was originally constructed with a mix of about six meters wide graystone and some limestone. The inner dimensions of the borg’s courtyard measure approximately 139-155 meters. Trindborg features two entrance gates. One is located in the west and the other in the southwest. In the early 1800s, house foundations were still visible in a small section in the southwest, where, in 1989-90, a small excavation was conducted and human skeleton parts, as well as a small bronze buckle, were discovered. Despite this, no other finds were securely connected to the borg.
