Kantskoppel

There are shallow depressions called Kantskoppel in the mixed forest along the road about 400 metres southeast of Saare (Lyckholm) manor.

Marta Schmiedehelm described the place in 1924 as being in a small but dense forest. The ground itself is shallow and exposed, with an artificially created angular wall measuring 1 metre high and outside it a ditch 0.5 metres deep and about 2 metres wide. The entrance is on the northern side.

It is speculated that these may be the foundation trenches of a mediaeval fort.  There have been questions about the rationale for such a structure on what was at that time an uninhabited island, and why it was never finished. According to one theory, when Noarootsi was still a separate island in the Middle Ages, there was a strait separating the island from the mainland, and the fort was intended to guard this strait, serving as a kind of northern gateway to Haapsalu Bay. The strait was navigable for larger vessels in the 14th and 15th centuries, but as a result of post-glacial rebound, the strait eventually became too shallow for large ships to pass. Thus, the need for a fort also disappeared.
