SolarMegalith visited on 31st Oct 2018 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 5 Access: 4 I was lucky to visit this site in one of the most beautiful days of Polish autumn in 2018, when the mountains of Beskid Żywiecki are exceptionally impressive.

Possible hillfort in Slaskie

A possible hillfort (one of very few in the mountains of Beskid Żywiecki) lies one the grounds belonging to the village of Gilowice, but much closer to Pewel Ślemieńska. It occupies the culmination of a narrow promontory, currently covered in a forest. The sub-rectangular enclosure consists of stony banks and is partly damaged, but still distinguishable on most of its perimeter. No artefacts were found which could confirm that the site is indeed a hillfort, but nevertheless it was scheduled as an archaeological monument in 1991.
