The oldest finds from the Braunsberg near Hainburg come from the late Neolithic period (to 2'000 BC) and are almost 4'500 years old.
During the older and younger Hallstatt culture (12th century BC to 450 BC) existed an important or at least extensive height settlement. This from the 8th to the 6th century BC. No fortification could be found however from this time.
In the stages C2 (200 - 120 BC) to D1 (140- 50 BC) of the La Tène culture was the emphasis of the Celtic settlement. These 13 hectares comprising settlement was fortified. An internal boarded post wall formed the exterior front. At the inner side an earth ramp was heaped up. The settlement was abandoned in the middle of the 1st century BC.
The conjecture that it was a question of the Carnuntum in which Caesar Tiberius Iulius Augustus in the year AD 6 camped, can not be confirmed. Finds from the time of Augustus are missed.
Next to a reconstructed rampart section some remains of the rampart are to make out in particular in the west.
