Eketorp Fort, located on the island of Öland, offers a rare look into the everyday life of Iron Age communities. Constructed in the 4th century, this circular fort served dual purposes as a defensive stronghold and a vibrant social hub. Archaeologists have uncovered residential structures, craft areas, and fortified walls, shedding light on life over 1,500 years ago. Similar sites exist across Scandinavia, like the remains in Østfold, Norway, and Denmark’s Viking forts, such as Trelleborg and Fyrkat. These forts controlled trade routes and laid the groundwork for the Viking Age’s well-organized trading hubs, such as Birka and Kaupang. Eketorp’s strategic position along the Mörbylånga Trail highlights its importance in the exchange of goods and culture, connecting Iron Age societies to the dynamic Viking world that followed.
