Na Zámkách, hillfort in Choteč, Czech Republic

Na Zámkách is a hillfort located near Choteč in the Czech Republic. The site preserves remains of fortifications and settlement structures that developed across multiple historical periods and reveal how early communities organized their defenses.

The hillfort was discovered only after the Second World War. No archaeological excavation has ever taken place there, and surface surveys have yielded no finds that would allow its origin or period of occupation to be dated. Its age therefore remains unknown, and the surviving rampart is protected as a cultural monument.
