The site experienced its first period of importance during the Late Hallstatt and Early La Tène periods, maintaining connections with Italy and Greece.

The settlement contains evidence of the earliest stone architecture in Bohemia, dating back to the Celtic period around 150 BC.

Visitors can explore the remains of several earthen ramparts and wooden fortification systems throughout the archaeological complex.

The archaeological excavations revealed remnants of weaving looms, blacksmith workshops, imported glass items, and bronze vessels from the second century BC.
