Hillfort in Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia
A hillfort of X-XIII century, measuring 80x40 m, divided into two parts by railroad on the eastern outskirts of Svetlogorsk town. The remnants of rampart are still visible.
The site was found thanks to the Catalogue of archaeological monuments of the Kaliningrad Oblast by Vladimir Kulakov, page 92 (in Russian). The photo opposite is of the north western side of the fort.
