Bulverket
The Bulverket is the remnants of a large wooden fortification or bulwark at Lake Tingstäde on the island of Gotland, Sweden. When built, it consisted of a platform with houses surrounded by a double palisade with the entire construction around in diameter.
According to a 1989 archeological survey, the structure was built in the 1130s and may have been used for less than a century. Although its original purpose is unknown, theories suggest it was either used as a shelter during the turbulent times on Gotland at the end of the Viking Age or that it was the site of a last stand.
Among the archeological finds at the Bulverket are the remains of three boats. One of these served as a model for the reconstruction of a Viking boat, the ''Krampmacken'', in 1980. The ''Krampmacken'' has subsequently made several journeys following old Viking waterways through Eastern Europe.
== Etymology ==
The name Bulverket originates from the old Swedish words ''bul'', meaning "log", and ''verk'' which refers to something "built". It is related to the English word "bulwark", a form of fortification, as well as the Dutch ''bolwerk'' with the same meaning and the Swedish ''bålverk''.
