Hillfort in Croatia
Bronze Age Hillfort abandoned around Iron age. Semicircular in shape at the edge of a steep cliff at 330 Meter altitude. Kunci has a very thick inner wall, made out of now loose irregular stones with two zig-zag entrances. There is also a smaller outer wall. An other entrance was cut in recent times and local youths use the inside perimeter for drag racing with old Serbian built Fiats. The Croat archeologist Boris bacic researched the entrances in the 60's, but the rest has not been formally explored. 100 meters in diameter. There originally was also a tumulus, which is now lost. Partisans also built shelters in the wall during WWII. This area marks the beginning of the territory of the Liburni tribe of the Illyrians, who were semi-matriarch cal and had only female goddesses.
