The Limes-Park at Rainau is about 6 kilometres long with 11 stations. One of them is the Limes tower in the Mahdholz near Rainau-Schwabsberg. It was built in two phases. The foundations were conserved and a reconstruction of the Limes wall of about 1 meter wide and three meters tall is right next to it. This wall marks the 2nd construction phase dating to about 180 AD. A few meters further you will find the first phase tower reconstructed in wood, originally dating to about 165 AD.

In 488 AD, the command came from Rome for all Romans to withdraw to Italy: the end of the West Roman Empire. From different areas groups of people started occupying territory in the Salzburger Land. They formed the people called Bavarii (Bajuwaren) with their own dukes, the Agolfinger with Regensburg as residence and their own laws which played an important role until the 14th century. The Bavarii held a part as large as Old Bavaria, a large part of Austria and South Tirol. They were dependent of the Franks since 595.
For a BBC movie about Lough Gur, one of the Neolithic houses was reconstructed but already in 1990 was long gone. Nothing reminded of the reconstructed dwelling (Ahrens 1980, 91-92). The Visitor centre itself is still operating, as part of Shannon Developments.

The permanent exhibition presents many unique archaeological finds from prehistoric Denmark.
EXARC is the international organisation of Archaeological Open Air Museums and other facilities involved in Experimental Archaeology.

In 1938, roadworks were undertaken on the northern slope leading to the important medieval Lanhoso Castle and the Nossa Senhora do Pilar sanctuary. Here, they uncovered a castro, used from the Late Bronze Age up until the Roman Era. This hill controlled an important area of the Ave valley, the connections between the central area of the Bracari territory to the Barroso high plane. Various expensive metal artefacts were uncovered which now are on display at the “Museu D. Diogo de Sousa” in Braga. The hill fort was classified as a Public Interest Site in 1940.
