Promontory Fort in Malopolskie

A promontory fort of Lusatian culture is located near the buildings of Roztoka village. The only rampart (short and narrow) and ditch cut the neck of the promontory which overlooks Dunajec river, protecting the easiest approach. The defended area is very narrow, thus the settlement had to be relatively small.

The fort is covered with a forest, but its ditch and low rampart is still distinguishable.
