The fortification of Burggraf (
German: Abschnittsbefestigung Burggraf), also called the Burggrafenstein or Furchste, is a
levelled prehistorical or early medieval sector fortification on a hill spur between Untertrubach and
Dörnhof near
Gräfenberg in the county of
Forchheim in the south German state of
Bavaria.
The fortification was recorded in 1417 as a burgstall. It consisted of
ramparts and an entrance passage at the southwest corner and probably a second on the southeast side. Only the remains of two sector ramparts have survived.
