Hradiště Písecká Smoleč, Bronze Age hillfort in Písecká Smoleč, Czech Republic

The fortified settlement spans four hectares across three sections, with an acropolis covering 0.6 hectares at an elevation of 375 meters.

Archaeological excavations in 1868 by Martin Kolář revealed pottery fragments from the Knovíz culture and structural remains dating to the 9th century.

The settlement includes defensive structures with a 200-meter curved embankment and a surrounding ditch measuring six to eight meters in width.

The site stands on a promontory near the Vltava River, with access through a 25-meter wide neck protected by an earthen rampart.

The archaeological site now borders the Orlík water reservoir, which partially submerged the original steep slopes that provided natural protection.
