Pfostenschlitzmauer (meaning timber-laced rampart in German) is a method of constructing defensive walls protecting Iron Age hillforts and oppida in Central Europe, including Bavaria and the Czech Republic. It is characterized by vertical wooden posts set into the front stone facing. The rampart is constructed from a timber lattice filled with earth or rubble. The transverse cross beams may also protrude through the stone facing, as with murus gallicus used in Gaul and western Germany.

The construction method is also known as Kelheim-style, named after the extensive ramparts at the oppidum of Kelheim.

At the oppidum of Manching, an earlier murus gallicus rampart was rebuilt in pfostenschlitzmauer style.
