Bronze age Hillfort occupied ca 1800-1200 BCE. 78 Meters altitude. 4Km East of Rovnij. One outer wall with e zig-zag entrances, one inner wall for so called Acropolis with modest palace. Traces of having been abandoned suddenly during invasion of Istri tribe of Illyrians. Normal habitations between walls. 30 Meter deep Vertical cave located just outside northwest entrance. Thought to have ritualistic purpose. Not fully excavated yet but thought to have passage leading back to fort and to have high potential on account of finds made at similar cave in Slovenia.
