Borremose

Borremose is a raised bog in central Himmerland, Denmark south east of the town of Aars. The name translates directly as 'Borre'-bog, where 'Borre' might well be a derivation of the old word ''burgh'' meaning settlement, as seen in many other place-names.
The bog is heavily overgrown with trees and shrubs nowadays and is inaccessible in most places.
==Archaeology==
Borremose is famous for being the finding site of more than three bog bodies (Late Bronze Age) .
The famous silver "Gundestrup cauldron" was found in the minor bog of Rævemosen less than 1 km to the north of Borremose in 1891. A bronze kettle made by Etruscans around 300 BC, has also been unearthed in the nearby bog of Mosbæk in 1875.〔(Imported metal kettles from pre-roman iron age ) National Museum of Denmark〕 In earlier times, Borremose was much larger than what remains today and both Rævemosen and Mosbæk, was an integral part of the Borremose boglands.
Borremose is also known for and identified with a former fortified settlement dating from the middle part of Pre-Roman Iron Age (400-100 BC) . It was constructed around 300-250 BC, as one of the largest structures of its kind in Northern Europe, but was already abandoned in 125 BC, when the houses was burned down and the whole area levelled somewhat. The area was then used for agricultural purposes until around 0 BC, when it was abandoned and left to the bog.〔(The fort of Borremose ) VisitDenmark〕 The settlement was rediscovered in 1929 during peat cutting. Originally the fort of Borremose comprised a 140 x 90 m gravel bank surrounded by a moat with earth mounds on the inner side and connected to dry land by a 150 metres artificial cobbled road. The 450 m long moat, was 4 m wide, 1,5 m deep and with a flat bottom covered with sharp oaken-spikes, to slow down attacking forces. While the buildings are long gone, the site have been excavated so the mounds, moat and road are here to see once again. Similar constructions from that era, are well known from all over Europe, but for a long time, the Borremose-fortification was the only known Iron Age fortification of its kind in all of Denmark, until a similar construction was discovered at Lyngsmose near Ringkøbing in western Jutland in 1979. Because of this, such structures are sometimes referred to as "Borremose-fortifications", regardless of their whereabouts.
Some of the finds from Borremose is on exhibit at Museumcentre Aars in the town of Aars, either as copies or originals. The museum centre presents many other interesting finds from western Himmerland, like Scandinavias oldest known human skull, 10.000 years old from the Maglemosian culture. Since Borremose is so inaccessible, it is estimated to hold many interesting finds for the future.
The land around Borremose have revealed several individual settlements from the Nordic Iron Age and a few kilometres south east of the boglands, the village of Østerbølle with 9 longhouses and a number of small houses, has recently been restored.〔(Østerbølle - Iron Age village ) Danish agency for Culture 〕
There are a number of Stone Age and Bronze Age barrows near the bog. Graves from the Iron Age have also been found.
