Location of WP 12/109 not far from the wooden crucifix at Stödtlen-Oberzell: situated within an interesting landscape; with a good view over Dinkelsbühl towards the North and to the Middle Franconian Hesselberg towards the East.
A section of the Limes wall was exposed directly at the Kastellstraße in Ellwangen-Pfahlheim in 1988.
The foundations, which are 12.2 m long and 1.25 – 1.40 m wide, have been preserved up to a height of 0.75 m. The dried-out cavity wall consists of local “Stubensandstein”.
