**Grodzisko Zembrzyce** submitted by SolarMegalith : Grodzisko Zembrzyce - ditch and outer bank in the southern part of the fort (photo taken on October 2018). (Vote or comment on this photo)

This impressive promontory fort occupies a forest-covered promontory which constitutes the eastern end of the massif of Góra Zamczysko (Zamczysko mountain), near Krakow. The fort, elongated in shape, is protected by a ditch to the south and west, and at the north by a steep slope.

The interior of the fort is divided into two parts with a deep (partly rock-cut) ditch. A limited area of the hillfort suggests its primarily defensive significance.

The site was occupied from the Early Iron Age, as confirmed by pottery of the Lusatian culture. The earthworks of the promontory fort are probably early medieval.
