The walls are about 2.5 metres tall and, at their widest, 47 metres. They run for about 30 kilometres. It is hypothesized by Maciej Boryna of the Muzeum Ziemi Szprotawskiej that the Silesia Walls were the southwest border of the Duchy of G og w and built in 1413 1467. It is possible that rather than being military in nature the wall was designed to reduce smuggling. References refbegin M. Boryna Raport z programu badawczego Wa y l skie 2000 2006 . W.
