Bodendenkmal in Pilsting, #D-2-7241-0012 stands in Pilsting (Landkreis Dingolfing-Landau), in Bavaria, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

This site is a former motte (Turmhügel), a medieval earthwork mound located in Großköllnbach, part of the municipality of Pilsting in Lower Bavaria. The mound still rises about six metres above a circular moat and once carried a tower residence linked to the lords of Köllnbach. Since 1975, when the benefice house on its plateau was removed, the area has served as a playground for the village kindergarten.
