Ancient Village or Settlement in Russia
Lubshanskaya fortress is an ancient stone-earth fortress (fortification) in the territory of Ancient Rus at the mouth of the Volkhov. The archaeological monument dates back to the 6th-7th centuries, was erected on the site of an older settlement, about 700 years old it was rebuilt on a stone foundation by the Slavs (Rus) and ceased to exist by the 10th century due to a change in the hydrological relief of the area.
An ancient settlement (fortress) is located practically opposite the Staroladozhsky fortress via the Volkhov River, 2 km from the city, and opposite the famous "Olegov grave" burial mound complex.
Now here are periodically conducted archaeological excavations.
