Ismantorp Fortress is the ruins of a ringfort located on Öland Island in Sweden [1]. The ringfort consists of a limestone wall approximately 300 meters long and has nine gates [1]. Inside the ringfort are 95 houses arranged in 12 blocks around a central open area with a circular building [1]. Ismantorp is the largest and probably the oldest of the ringforts on Öland [1].
