Motronynske Hill Fort

This fortified settlement spans across elevated terrain with earthen ramparts, defensive ditches, and stone walls forming a circular perimeter around the central area.

Archaeological excavations in 2019 uncovered burial mounds from the early Iron Age containing skeletal remains and artifacts dating back to the 8th century BC.

The site reveals burial practices of pre-Scythian and Scythian cultures through discovered pottery, weapons, and burial arrangements within rectangular tombs.

The hillfort maintains its original structural elements at coordinates 49.155°N 32.248333°E, allowing visitors to examine ancient defensive architecture.

Researchers found a burial complex containing an iron sword, a bone-handled knife, and a quiver with arrows arranged in specific positions around the deceased.
