It is an earthen fortification located some 3 km north from the village of Herneacova, Timiș County, Romania.[2] The site known locally as Cetate ("Fortress") or Cetatea turcească ("Turkish fortress") consists of a hillock fortified by a system consisting of three moats and two ramparts. The route of one of the ramparts is partially used today as a country road, between Sălciua Nouă and Herneacova.[3] The archeological surveys carried out by Florin Medeleț in 1971 highlighted a fortress of refuge that dominated the valley of the Bencec stream and that functioned at the end of the first Iron Age and the 3rd–4th centuries AD, respectively.[4] The defensive system surrounds an area of about 5 ha.[5]
