Borgnakke

Borgnakke er et velbevaret voldsted, som skoven har fået navn efter. Borgen har en ca. 4 mtr. høj, cirkulær tårnbanke med en diameter på ca. 38 mtr. ved foden. Bankens stejle sider mod syd og vest vender ud til strandengen, mens de ind mod skrænten i nord og øst er omgivet af en ca. 10 mtr. bred grav.

Topfladen på ca. 25 mtr. i diameter, har på midten en lille cirkulær forhøjning på ca. 12 mtr. i diameter, hvorpå der ses en del store kampesten. Det er sandsynligvis rester af et rundt tårn.
Desværre kendes stedets historie ikke, men der kan være en sammenhæng imellem rester af en ringvold på øen Lindholm i Karrebæk fjord, hvor disse to anlæg tilsammen, sandsynligvis har værnet om indsejlingen til Næstved.
Voldstedet kaldes også for Margretevold eller Margretehøj.

I Borgnakke skov [på begge sider af landevejen - pas på trafikken !!!], kan også ses 10 oldtidshøje - Gæsterehøje.

Borgnakke

Borgnakke is a well preserved rampart, from which the wood has its name. The fortification has a circular hill, 4 mtr. high and 38 mtr. at the foot. The step sides towards south and west faces the tidal meadow, where the sides towards north and east is surrounded by a 10 mtr. wide moat. The top surface is about 25 mtr. in diameter, and has a small circular platform at about 12 mtr. in diameter, on which a number of large granite boulders can be seen. This is probably the remains of a circular tower.

The history of the place is unknown, but there might be a connection to a circular rampart located on the small island Lindholm in Karrebæk Fjord [inlet], where the two ramparts together could have been a defensive position to protect the entrance to Næstved. The rampart is also known as Margretevold or Margretehøj.

Also in the wood Borgnakke you will find a group of 10 bronze age barrows - Gæsterehøje, located on both sides of the road [Please mind the heavy traffic !!!].
