Trelleborg

Japanese: トレレボー（英語表記）Trelleborg

The remains of a Viking-era fort in western Zealand, Denmark. Ship-shaped structures resembling upside-down boats are symmetrically arranged in a space of 68m radius surrounded by earthworks that form a precise circle. It was used for a short period from the late 10th century to the beginning of the 11th century. It was once thought to have been a training ground and assembly area for Viking expeditions, but this theory has been called into question in recent years, as many of the buildings were used as storehouses and there are no signs of habitation.

デンマーク，シェラン島西部にあるバイキング時代の砦跡。正確な円をなす土塁に囲まれた半径68mの空間に，船を伏せたような形の建造物が対称形に配置されている。使用は10世紀後半から11世紀はじめの短期間である。かつてはバイキング遠征の練兵場，集合地と考えられていたが，建物の多くが倉庫に用いられ，居住の形跡がないことから，この説には近年疑問が呈せられている。【熊野聰】
