Hillfort in Dolnoslaskie

This impressive early medieval hillfort occupies a low hill located east of the village of Mierczyce. The excavations (1957-1965) revealed that the earliest settlement here belonged to the Lusatian culture and was built in Hallstatt period (Early Iron Age). The site was occupied also in La Tene period (4th-1st century BC), while the hillfort was built in early medieval period.

The fort consists of an oval rampart (particularly well-preserved in the southern and northern part of the fort) and two artificial terraces adjacent to it from the east and west.
