Description : The circular moat of Pömmelte in Zackmünde , a district of the city of Barby in the Salzlandkreis in Saxony-Anhalt , is a place used for rites that dates back to the end of the 3rd millennium BC. Is dated. Like the Schönebeck district ditch (in the Salzland district), it was discovered by flight prospecting . In 2005/2006 geomagnetic investigations were carried out which confirmed the aerial image structures and produced further ring systems, a smaller circular trench system overlaid by the large one, and a number of pits. The Pommelte-Zackmünde circular moat is a complex ritual sitewhere various religious acts were carried out. Since December 2015, the complex has been called "Ringheiligtum Pömmelte".
