The oak Spade
[edit]Thanks to Valentinian for confirming my interpretion of the danish source
A quick attempt at a translation about the spade goes like this:
The ring castle's southern moat was investigated during a dig in Allégade, due to a planned works to lay down central heating piping. The moat turned out to have been at least three meters deep. Its breadth: around 11 meters. The moat had been filled up over several occations [so it has been filled partially up once, and this work was continued much later]. Finds included a preserved spade made of oak tree, dated by dendro-chronology to the functioning era of the fort. No traces of the moat['s structure] or its bank.
I'm afraid this means that they were unable to find traces of the wooden structure.

Other maps
[edit]Apart from the map by Braunius I mentioned in my last edit (unfortunately, PD-art does not apply in Denmark, I will look for a copy somewhere) Nonnebakken apparently also appears on a 1795 map of Hunderup Parish. [1]. The relevant entry is no. 7. Valentinian T / C 09:02, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
- The Braunius map seems to be the same map as in my link at the bottom of the page (external links). As I state in the text: the map was made in 1593 though published later. My www.museum.odense.dk link seems to be better than your .museum.odense.dk one as it leads to this large version of the map hihi. If the ramps are indeed mapped as late as 1795, I wonder wether there is some info to be found from the time (1837?) the house that the lodge now resides in (bought the villa in 1929?) was build.--T.woelk 11:50, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
- I should have noticed that you'd already linked to the map, and your version is better :) I don't think anything of value was registered when the villa was built. Otherwise it ought to have been included in the list from www.dkconlike.dk. Unfortunately, Hans Baggesen's description of the Monarchy doesn't mention the structure at all, I just checked. (Hans Baggesen, "Den danske Stat" (1840)). A very old copy of Fyens Stiftstidende perhaps? In 1876, 30 skeletons were found on "Nonnebjerg" east of the other site.[2] The newspaper then speculated that it might have been related to the site, but if we have no other information to go on, it would probably have been related to the nunnery. Perhaps there might be something in "Middelalderbyen Odense" by Anemette S. Christensen (1988). I've not read it. Valentinian T / C 12:38, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
