The Celts built the largest oppidum in this region (118 ha), probably the important centre of their power. In its peak (about 200 BC) experts estimate population up to 4000, but the hillfort could provide shelter for about 40 000 refugees. The oppidum was captured by the Teutons after the battle in first century AD. The Teutons remained some time and was replaced by the Slavic people. The hillfort was finally abandoned around 1000 AD. The oppidum Závist is protected National cultural monument since 1989.
