Itinerary description
The Great Wall of Gorgan, also called the Gorgan Defence Wall, Anooshirvan Barrier, Firooz Barrier and sometimes Alexander Dam is an ancient defensive facility located in the Gorgan region of northeastern Iran.
In 2005 a team excavated samples of charcoal from the many brick kilns along the wall, and samples from the Gorgan Wall and the smaller Wall of Tammishe; OSL and radiocarbon dating indicated a date for both walls in the late 5th or 6th century CE.
