Hillfort in Będkowice, located on the top of a hill called Sokola Góra, is one of the best preserved hillforts in this area. Two lines of banks and ditches are still perfectly visible, even though the whole area of the hillfort is covered in forest.

The external bank is larger, reaching 15m of width, while the internal one is 7m wide. The excavations inside the hillfort unearthed many interesting finds, including arrow points and pottery, and uncovered remains of a late medieval tower build in the site of the hillfort.
