In the plain, two trenches were the first obstacles positioned in front of the contravallation line. At the moment of the siege (late summer - early fall) the first and the widest was filled with water channeled from a stream, while the second was dry. The next obstacle was a 14 - 17 m wide glacis followed by two types of trap. First came the stimuli, metal goads embedded in short stakes planted in the ground and arranged in six rows in a staggered formation; A third, apparently dry, trench bordered the foot of the rampart.

The rampart consisted of a terrace (agger) surmounted by a parapet and towers. The terrace was built up with packed earth extracted from trenches. It was protected by a wooden barrier and constituted the core of the rampart. Mounds of turf formed two walls, exterior and interior. The turf's natural root system helped solidify and adhere the mound. The towers were spaced one every 18 - 20 m. They rested on a square of four supporting wood posts set about 3 m apart. The two front posts were solidly planted in the packed earth of the terrace.
