Ancient hillfort

Madisemägi

Madisemägi

Madisemägi is an archaeological monument in Riverside County, in the municipality of Nõltsamaa, in the land of the former Madis farm (also the Linnamäe farm). It is a flat hill about 6 meters high, listed in the register of cultural monuments as a fortress. Archaeological studies have brought to light 6,000-year-old fragments of flint that point to the settlement of the site at the end of the early Stone Age or at the beginning of the younger Stone Age. During the Soviet occupation, a polygon of bomber aircraft was located in the Madisemäe area and the area was recognized as a no-go zone.
