Summary/Abstract: Many characteristic German objects are known from the cemeteries of the fortification. The four objects found on the territory of the fortification, which are described in this study, complete the number of these objects. In 2002, a gilded bronze dress pin with a head representation from the beginning of the 7th century was found during investment-led excavation on the territory of so-called building “A”. A mould with the representation of “weapon dancers” was recovered at the same place in 1979. An iron shield boss was unearthed together with other objects from the beginning of the 5th century in a refuse pit during the excavations in 2002. A private collector found a sabretache mount from the second half of the 6th century on the surface in the E part of the fortification.
