A mark-name on GE, in the town called Causeni, tells us: 'Valul Lui Traian'
In the West the wall starts at the Moldovan village of Leova (at the Prut-river) and in the East it ends in the town of Chircaesti, close to an old, dry riverbed, once beïng the course of the Dniestr river, so probably once the end of the wall here.

Wow!
It looks quite convincing. Nice to see that at least one is interested in walls outside China and working on them!
