The relative absence of weapon finds suggests that the site was more important as a social and economic center than as a military base.

A wooded path and lake a short distance west of Lejre, as well, was identified by some antiquarian scholars as "Herthadal," the sacred sacrificial precinct of the goddess Nerthus (also called Hertha), whose rites were described by the Roman historian <a href="/wiki/Tacitus" title="Tacitus">Tacitus</a> in chapter 40 of his <a href="/wiki/Germania_(book)" title="Germania (book)">Germania</a>.
