Description
At this place some remnants of roman and medieval fortifications can still be seen. Two information boards give further information about the historical aspects.
The oldest part was a roman watchtower, dating back to the 3rd and 4th century. In the middle of the area some ruins of this tower (or its medieval reconstruction) are barely visible in the grass. This tower was destroyed during the migration of the people.
During the Middle Ages the tower was reconstructed, the embankments and the trenches were added. At this time it was named "Castrum Pordan". King Ottokar destroyed this castle in 1273 and it was never rebuilt.
At the given coordinates there is a small parking lot where you can find the first information board and an assembly of coffins. Unfortunately the info-boards don't tell anything about the origin of these coffins.
The inner trench was used for a long time (in the middle of the 20th century) for ice-skating in winter.
The most interesting part of the area is under protection of historical informations, thats the main reason why there is no physical cache there. The other reasons are: The area is kept very clear by sheep and there is an announcement that a biomass-installation will be built there, so the area might undergo some more or less drastic changes in the near future.
Update December 2023:
Many things have changed since i "placed" the Virtual here. Now there is a lookout-tower to overview the area. The coffins have been moved under a roof, there are several boards with information about the history. Still here are the sheep and other animals, so it is not possible to walk around on the area. The biomass-installation was not built (at least not here).
How to log the cache: Have a look at the information-boards under the roof. One shows an aerial view and two sketches of the structure. Take the word (in German) almost in the middle of the left drawing as password for logging..

Ein interessanter Ort hier 👍🏻
Da dürfte sich seit dem letzten Log aber so einiges verändert haben und das nicht zum Schlechteren 👍🏻
Interessante Darstellung des Lebens in der römischen Legion, Aussichtsturm und ich durfte beobachten wie die Gänseschar kontrolliert wurde 🤣
Wetter ist ja gerade nicht so toll, aber die geschichtlichen Hintergründe waren sehr interessant 😃
Danke für's Herlocken!

Wieder mal vorbeigeschaut und diesmal auch die zweite -wichtige- Tafel begutachtet. Die Sarkophage würden sich einen ganz besonderen Cache verdienen.
Am 9.November 2008 um 14:00 Uhr ist dort übrigens 'Almabtrieb'. Die Schafe werden von der Anlage wieder zurück zum Hof getrieben. Anschließend Verkostung von hofeigenen Produkten.
Vielen Dank für Diesen Cache

found the geocache
Finally I didn´t forget the printout, which was fetched quite a time ago.
A very interesting site, unfortunalely the access to the core was´t possible today, due to an electric sheep fence. But they provide a profound information here and the Key word was still legible using binoculars.
Just a pity there is no information concerning this cute ensemble of sarcophags, they gave me a touch of Aspendos here in Leithaprodersdorf on this hot summers day.
Thx a lot, W

Schaut irgendwie nach FTF aus. 
Heute bei einer Burgenlandtour und Cachewartung bei "Der Brücke von Andau", auf dem Heimweg vorbei geschaut und die ganze Anlage besichtigt und fotografiert. Danke für den schönen Virtual Cache, wobei ich denke er hätte auch eine Dose verdient. Wenn Du nichts dagegen hast, lege ich mal eine Box dort irgendwo hin und liste es auf GC mit dem Hinweis auf diesen virtualen OC Cache.
