Karachev Hillfort, Archaeological site and kremlin in Karachev, Russia

The stone fortification complex sits on elevated terrain at coordinates 53.115861 latitude and 34.982389 longitude in the Bryansk Oblast region.

The hillfort emerged as a defensive structure in 1101, serving as a military stronghold during the period of Upper Oka Principalities until the rulers moved to Peremyshl.
