Great Khodosivka hill fort

The settlement spans across a plateau measuring 1000 meters in length and 700 meters in width, covering 31 hectares of protected landscape territory.

Initial excavations of the fortified area began in 1948, revealing evidence of habitation during the early Iron Age in the 6th century BC.

Archaeological findings include local pottery, bronze artifacts, iron tools, and animal remains that indicate a farming community focused on horse breeding.

The site maintains three entrance points through the earthen ramparts, positioned at the northern, eastern, and southern sections of the fortification.

Recent archaeological studies uncovered trade connections with Ancient Greek colonies through recovered pottery fragments and bronze items.
