ENIn 2006 the old Vainežeris defensive fortification (Lazdijai Dist.), which is on a peninsula in Lake Ančia, was investigated. It consists of a 5–6 m high rampart and trapezoid-shaped square, 60 x 40 m in size, surrounded by a ring defence. An area 18 x 4 m in size (75 m2 in all) was excavated in Soviet times in a 4–5 m wide and 20 m long strip cleared with a bulldozer. The rampart was created on a single occasion from brown clay with pebble admixtures. Its inner part was covered with broken stone with an average size of 30 x 20 x 6 cm. A 20–40 cm thick cultural layer with hand built pottery dating to the 1st millennium (?) was found under the rampart. A pit filled with sand with signs of charred wood particles was discovered in the subsoil and flint artefacts (a blade with a diagonally retouched end, blades with only retouched ends, a blade that had not been retouched, and a flake) dating to the Mesolithic period were found. The ramparts of the old defensive fortification were created in the 16th (?) – 18th century.
