Ridala kindlustatud asula
German: Röthelbeck
About five kilometres from Asva towards Orissaare, archaeologists found in 1960 a Bronze Age settlement that once sheltered behind a fence of timber and stone. Excavations began the next year across an area of nearly 4,500 square metres. Bone arrowheads lying in front of the defensive wall tell the end of the story: the village was attacked and burned around the 8th–7th centuries BC, and nobody ever settled there again.

Asvast umbes viie kilomeetri kaugusel Orissaare suunas avastati 1960. aastal pronksiaegne asula, mida kaitses puust ja kivist tara. Järgmisel aastal alustati kaevamisi ligi 4500 ruutmeetri suurusel alal. Kaitsetara eest leitud luust nooleotsad räägivad loo lõpu: 8.–7. sajandil eKr rünnati asulat ja see põles maha. Hiljem pole sinna enam keegi elama asunud.
