Nikulchino hillfort, Archaeological fortification in Kirov Oblast, Russia.
The fort stands on elevated ground near the Vyatka River, featuring earthen ramparts and defensive structures that extend across the landscape.
The settlement emerged during the medieval period as a strategic outpost, serving as a defensive position for the local populations against invasions from neighboring territories.
Archaeological excavations at Nikulitsın have revealed numerous artifacts, including pottery and tools that demonstrate the daily activities of early Russian settlements.
