    A gord is a medieval Slavonic fortified settlement, also occasionally known as a burgwall or Slavic burgwall after the German term for such sites. The ancient peoples were known for building wooden fortified settlements. The reconstructed Centum-satem isogloss word for such a settlement is g'herdh, gordъ, related to the Germanic *gard and *gart (as in Stuttgart etc.). This Proto-Slavic word (*gordъ) for town or city, later differentiated into grad (Cyrillic: град), gard,gorod (Cyrillic: город), etc.

    Similar strongholds were built during the late Bronze and early Iron Ages by the Lusatian culture (ca. 1300 BC 500 BC), and later in the 7th - 8th centuries BC in modern-day Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic and eastern Germany. These settlements were usually founded on strategic sites such as hills, riverbanks, lake islands or peninsulas.

    A typical gord was a group of wooden houses, built either in rows or in circles, surrounded by one or more rings of walls made of earth and wood, a palisade and/or moats. Some gords were ring-shaped, with a round, oval or occasionally polygonal fence or wall surrounding a hollow. Others, built on a natural hill or a man-made mound, were cone-shaped. Those with a natural defense on one side, such as a river or lake, were usually horseshoe-shaped.

    Grad

    by: Three Impotent Males

    People say I did well in my life
    But I feel I missed a major opportunity to prove that I'm
    something
    Something more than nothing
    To prove I deserve more than I've got
    What can I do when I know what has to be done
    But I have no desire to do it
    Seventy two fucking years swept away in the waning autumn
    People say I did well in my life but I still stare
    through myself
    Through the hole in my head left there by a bullet
